This plane has been something that I have looked at for a while.Then when Flex came out with one in yellow, I had to check it out. The great thing about Flex is they make great flying models and listen to their customers. The newest versions of this plane come with several little updates to improve this already great model. The wing tabs and servos have been updated. Also it now includes a 100amp ESC with a 15amp BEC.

So today the boys and I cracked open the box and in about 1 hour we were ready to fly. The plane is packed very well and everything looks great.

Assembly goes extremely quick. The only gluing that you need to do, is gluing on the ruder. Everything else just bolts together. 

We also updated to the latest firmware and then setup the "extreme" setup. This is gives you crow and full length ailerons.

With the weather finally above 0 we made it out and put 5 batteries the plane today. 

The large wheels let you taxi over almost anything.

We are seeing 5+ min flights with 6S 3350mah packs

Lots of power equals lots of fun!

The Flex Cessna 170 is a win win in our book!
