Cessna182 Keeps tip stalling and nose diving

last blog.   I moved the motor to the right just a little instead of straight, CG done in all directions, controll surfaces extremely flat. I flew at all different speeds 20%, 30% 50% 70% 100% throttel all resulting in the same f#%*ing thing  Tested a 7x3, 8x4 9x6 10x6 12x6 breaking most of them. I wanted to smash it to bits but my maiden flight of my just completed (Sky Fly 2 25% bigger 1000% better) soothed the Incredible Hulk from comming out & doing somthing I would regret later!!! 

        Lucky that I have some tall grass, a good motor mount setup, & a 5mm shaft or the cessna  would be toast by now, if ya know what I mean.  

       Remember I have hand launched this bird 40 or 50 times with great success. I have been doing it that way out here for 5 Years with all kinds of planes etc. and I know how to do it by now. 

    As blackhander said the cessna flys like a pussy cat when it is indeed flying right!!!

She is a very low stress plane to fly at least she used to be. blackhander I totally agree

with you about the challange, when you get it right the joy you feel is a real natural high

but but at this point I'm in need for a major fix!!!

     Hey to Jhon the blog is not letting me put pics for you right now but you can go to my

Youtube and see all the sides of it and/or everone who is kind enought to help me.

     First, yes the weight has increased about 250g with new motor set up and the huge LED light system I put in it I goes into detail on this on my other blog in the Advanced battery Question under batteries & chargers .

       Remember I flew it great 15 times or so with this setup I have now doing loops, rolls stalls stunts ect. putting all kinds of stress on that bird but it was all fine untill just one day it started again.

     Remeber in my last blogs here I said, it started tipstalling with the stock out of the

box setup. I would usually just putt around and check out all the cool LEDs. It is as blackhander said the cessna is a pussy cat  

   I also wanted to show my maiden flight video of my just completed (Sky Fly 2 25% bigger 1000% better) to Ron & Sabrehawk  I talked about yesterday  that I said I would.

     Go to my youtube for videos of the Sky Fly 2 new, and the Cessna when it was flying good with the upgraded setup that is on it, before the problem happened.

          Thanks to all for the help! Shawn

Have you trided changing servos & maybe Rx. Beginning to seem more like an electronics problem. What kind of a range check do you get (distance)?

         Sabrehawk I totally agree with you on the over production of the Cessna's & Piper Cub's and I own 3 Piper's and the POS Cessna.

        I got the Cessna for the Flaps on it because I wanted to fly like the big boy's. Tower Hobbies had it for $250 on Easy Pay $89 for a 3 month Period.  So it was cheap for me buy it.  I wanted to buy the Cessna here too at HC. for $99 to have parts when I needed them. I don't know if you seen it here or not but it is the same plane as mine - the RX system.   I should have just got it here with a nice radio system but I didn't have the cash. The cessna here is the same plane but HC stopped selling it right when I was gonna get it        The stock radio in mine is a TACTIC 6 channel receiver & 5 channel transmiter with Tactic 15g servos. Not too bad but it is in no way top of the line. 

     Well I guess taking the RX out is my next  step. I'll tell you guy's how that goes.

                   

                          Keep em Flying high,   Shawn 

      I might just replace the entire RC system first but it's not gonna be as easy as your

idea.   Thanks for the help. 

        Flying helps you relive stress mostly.   Shawn,

all for a good laugh looking back on it now.

      Well first it was way too hot to fly my newly finished bird, my modified  25% bigger FlyZone Sky Fly 2 in the day, so I waited till dusk and by the time I got the right prop and

fixed the bugs that  it had, it was night & way too dark. But the heat of the moment took control of my good jugment. 

       Well it did not have enough LEDs on it to spot her good and I lost sight of it I  had

to ditch it in the deep woods. I walked around on the road until I could hear the motor faintly. So I grabbed a flashlight & started trekking through the thick brush and woods zigzaging until I found that lost little puppy.

          Yay! I saved the two Li-Po's that I just got from HC, one was a perfect weight and power for the plane and the other one ran the LED system in it.

      So now it is time to break the plane down & get it through the woods wit,out harming

it right?  See what happend now was that I was zigaging so many times I did not pay attention to where I was at all. I took off in the wrong direction.  After 1 hour of me trying to find the road,I knew I was lost & to make things worse my flashlight was dimming to nothing. 

              Now the plane becomes my light and I'm freaking out because I have a broken

back and shorts on, not prepared for this survivel test what so ever.  How the hell did

I get in this mess, It must have been the Heat!!!

      Well, to cut the dramatics out,  I finally found a logging road that took me back to

safety 3 hours later at 3 a.m.    The plane and the controller that I was holding and dragging it through deep brush, hanging up on every branch in my way,was miraculously ok .When I got back , my legs were bloody and cut and bruised to the bone,not being able to see what

I was walking into.

       "Wow" this was the RC experiance of my life.   

    Yeah, I would be happy if you could come and figure the Cessna puzzle out. I will need to get some new props because I have gone through them all trying to figure this out.

    I'll pick some brews up and barbeque too. Sounds like fun. Theres not many here in this

redneck town that is into geeky stuff like RC planes, and a friend who is into this stuff is not easy to come by locally .    

                        Kick the tires & light the fires !!!    Shawn.
