Description
The FMS 1500 mm (59.1") Cessna 182 PNP is an essential, classic, and realistic civil airplane, faithfully reproducing the appearance of the real aircraft. Authorised by Textron Innovations Inc., it adheres to FMS’s philosophy of “Scale appearance, excellent performance,” meticulously capturing the reliability, versatility, flexibility, and ease of operation of the full-size Cessna 182. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of pilots, from beginners eager to progress to enthusiasts seeking recreational flying, aerial photography, or even basic surveyance simulation. Its ability to perform ultra-short take-offs and landings further enhances its versatility for various flying sites.
The Cessna 182 is equipped with a high-performance power system featuring a 3541-KV840 brushless motor, a 40A brushless ESC, and a durable nylon-reinforced three-blade propeller, providing ample thrust for vertical climbs and advanced manoeuvres. The ESC also boasts a powerful reverse thrust function for ground taxiing and slowing down after landing, along with multiple protection features for enhanced safety. Its 1500 mm (59.1") wingspan ensures excellent wind resistance, maintaining stable flight even in turbulent conditions. Adding to its realism, the aircraft features a highly detailed cockpit with 360° transparent windows, dual-row seats, a pilot figure, instrument panels, and control yokes. Seven bright, pre-installed LED navigation lights on the wings, tail, and vertical tail perfectly replicate the full-scale aircraft, enhancing visibility and safety during dusk or night time flights.

Optional Floats for Water Adventures

High-Performance Brushless Power System
The FMS 1500mm Cessna 182 boasts a 3541-KV840 brushless motor, a 40A brushless ESC, and a durable nylon-reinforced three-blade propeller. This robust system provides ample thrust and speed, effortlessly handling vertical climbs and advanced aerobatics.
Powerful Reverse Thrust & Safety Features
The Cessna's ESC offers a powerful reverse thrust function, letting you taxi backwards on the ground and quickly slow down after landing. It also includes essential protection features like overheating, low voltage, and signal loss protection, making ground and water operations safer and more flexible.
Excellent Wind Resistance
With its generous, 1500mm (59.1") wingspan, the Cessna 182 handles wind like a champion. It maintains a stable flight even against crosswinds or air disturbances, significantly reducing the risk of unwanted lateral drift and ensuring a balanced flight.
Enhanced Visibility with Bright LED Lights
Equipped with seven bright navigation lights, including five on the wings, one tail light, and one vertical tail light, this Cessna replicates the full-scale aircraft's details. These lights greatly improve visibility and safety, especially during dusk or night flights.
Optional Reflex V3 for Safer Flights
For extra peace of mind, choose the optional Reflex V3 stable flight technology (sold separately). It helps pilots with take-off, landing, and general flight stability, even in emergencies, significantly lowering the chance of mishaps. You can also customise its settings via Bluetooth with the FMS app.
Quick, Glue-Free 10-Minute Assembly
Get flying faster with the Cessna's quick, glue-free assembly, done in just 10 minutes by simply screwing the fuselage and landing gear together. Its plug-in wing, groove-type wing strut, and snap-in tail designs make setup effortless, and the two-piece fuselage saves 30% on storage space.
Faithfully Reproduced Scale Details
The FMS 1500mm Cessna 182 stands out with its exceptional scale realism. Every detail, from the intake grille and engine exhaust to multiple realistic antennas, landing gear fairings, and the chrome propeller spinner, is meticulously reproduced. Even the concealed servo horn in the flap design adds to its authentic look.
Short Take-off and Landing (STOL) Capability
Experience impressive Short Take-off and Landing (STOL) capabilities with the 1500mm Cessna 182, easily managing distances within three metres (9.8ft). Its strong propulsion system and effective flaps ensure quick take-offs and landings, even from smaller or confined areas.
Resilient CNC Metal Landing Gear
The 1500mm Cessna 182 features CNC metal shock-absorbing landing gear and wear-resistant tyres, built tough to handle rough landings. Enhanced with damping silicone oil, the landing gear provides smooth cushioning for better performance on uneven airstrips or challenging surfaces.
