Finally built a Cessna 182 from RcGroups.
My first build, the blubaby, had too much dihedral and no wing strength. so i have re enforced this Cessna with coro and CF (not in pics)


More pics once its finally completed.
the landing gear needs to be trimmed and the tail strengthed. The tail seems to wobble a lot while the servos are at work. Any suggestions seniors?

feedback and tips welcome! :D

Specs: (too too overpowered! the throttle at half sticks is enuf for it get outta hand!)

Motor : EMAX Grand Turbo GT2215/09 Outrunner from RCD

Prop: 10X6E

ESC 40A (just to be safe! :P )

Battery: 3s 1050 40C Rhino

FlySky TX/RX.

alignment of the tail plane is not correct

the problem is, the tail plane starts to vibrate terribly once i go half throttle! any way to reinforce this somehow? CF rods aint working!

thanks SLS! :)

Looks totally flyable to me. Tail plane also looks fine, judging from the picture in the first post. a little dihedral would have helped but as you were not comfortable with the dihedral in you previous build i am sure you must have put some thought into this one.
Looks like you are worrying to much, a little vibration should not be a problem.
For vibration check if the motor shaft is not bent,
you might have got small plastic rings with the prop use them and make sure the prop is a tight fight on the adapter.

thank you for the encouragement! this has been reiterated by a friend aeromodeller as well! :)

the last time, the wind was too much and my blubay just went straight up and the wings were bent at 45 degrees!!! :D so this time, it'll be flat and with throttle all the time! :)
