The Parkzone Cessna 210 Centurion

There aren't too many micro scale RTF rc airplanes available yet, but the Parkzone Cessna 210 is one of them, and is a great example of what today's rc technology allows.

The full-size Cessna 210 Centurion has long been a popular choice for private and light commercial use, the 6 seater single engine plane with retractable landing gear has an excellent record around the world.

The Parkzone Cessna 210 is an RTF electric semi-scale representation of this airplane, and fills a large gap in the current market of radio control airplanes.
With a wingspan of only 15 inches, and a weight of just 18 grams, the 210 has fully proportional 3 channel control to rudder, elevator and motor speed.
And the radio system is not the standard 72MHz system supplied with most RTFs, but the all-new 2.4GHz digital system that means peace-of-mid- for you and interference-free flying.

2.4GHz radio systems work on a completely different basis to conventional radio control systems, and they are only just being supplied with RTF rc airplanes. Currently there are only a few RTF models with 2.4GHz systems.

The Parkzone Cessna 210 is available in 3 different color schemes, and even comes with a display stand. The model is small enough to double up as a static model in your living room when you're not out having fun with it at the flying field!

But of course, such a small model doesn't have to be flown outdoors; if you have access to somewhere like a school hall or gymnasium then the Cessna 210 can be flown indoors too. It's tiny size makes it perfect for indoor rc flying, a rapidly growing sector of the radio control flying hobby.

Outdoor flying is in fact restricted to wind-free days, or at most a slight breeze. Such lightweight model airplanes are easily effected by the wind, and it wouldn't take too much air movement to adversely effect the flight performance of the Cessna.

As with all Parkzone rc airplanes, everything you need is in the box, even the transmitter batteries. A motor battery pack charge time of around 20 minutes gives you a flight time of around 10 minutes.
