Can it do grass?YES IT CAN! One of the most important features of an aircraft in Australia is it's ability to take off and land on a grass runway.

Description: Tian Sheng have pulled out the stops with this magnificent reproduction of the classic Cessna 182. This is just a great plane to fly - in true Cessna fashion its very stable at all airspeeds and the HUGE size makes for very easy orientation and surprisingly slow flight, especially with the flaps deployed.
Tian Sheng has included a full metal undercarriage as well as a shock absorber on the nose wheel for those less than perfect landings. Power is provided by a 3864 700kv outrunner and its more than ample to haul this big bird around the sky. They have even constructed the firewall and motor mount from light ply to give extra strength for attaching the big outrunner motor.
The addition of working flaps is a huge plus - because of the light weight foam construction the 182 can fly down the runway at walking speed which is quite amazing to see given the size of this aircraft.
If you're looking for a great large scale model that's stable and a joy to fly, this one's for you!
