First flight and “landing” of the HobbyKing Cessna RC model plane
Here is the maiden flight of (and subsequent damage to) Ron’s Hobby King Cessna 182 foamie RC model airplane. Note the cheerful banter and encouraging words that can be heard on any Sunday at the South Waikato Model Aero club as the members gladly assist in helping a follow modeler to fix is damaged model. Yeah – right!
This is a video of me landing at night in a Cessna 150. Sorry about the night shot, it was the only way to see everything. This flight was for my long cross country for my commercial pilot training. I flew from Salisbury, MD (KSBY) to Wilmington, NC (KILM), to Norfolk, VA (KORF) and returned to Salisbury. Notice the horrible nose-wheel shimmy haha. The plane is old.

This is my 3rd video from my local field, flying my FMS model cessna. Getting more and more confident flying this model now so doing some more aerobatics etc etc…. This FMS cessna has been upgraded with a 2200mah lipo battery for greater performance… Dodgy landing i know but the nose wheel has been previously damaged and repaired, plus it was quite windy today!
