This plane is a gas... I am very satisfied with it. I'm new at this hobby and there are cheaper planes but the Hobbico Cessna 182 is da bomb.
It flys nice a slow, has a very powerfull engine along with being of quality construction. I love this plane.

First of all, all the retailers on this site are great. So buy from them, just not these products!

Here are the problems with the 34" wingspan Hobbico Flyzone Cessna 182:

1. Does not take off well
2. WAY underpowered
3. No dihedral, so unstable, yet no power so no aerobatics
4. VERY VERY BRITTLE, will crack in a heartbeat

Problems with the 47.5" wingspan Hobbico Flyzone Cessna 182:

1. Battery hatch is foam, with FOAM HINGES. Unbelievably dumb design, because the hatch falls of during flight
2. 36 ounces, 6 ounces more than Parkzone planes of the same size, but with less power
3. Motor shaft that cracks or bends super easily
4. Product is poorly packed so the items come damaged
