Flight Characteristics

The Cessna 195 is known for its smooth and stable flight performance, making it ideal for scale flying and relaxed cruising. The large wing area and functional flaps allow for slow, controlled approaches and realistic landings. This model excels in both calm flying conditions and light wind, delivering predictable handling across a wide flight envelope. 

Modeler’s Tip

For best scale realism and balance, pair this model with a 40–50cc engine and keep your setup lightweight. Proper CG setup is critical due to the radial-style nose.

Who This Plane Is For

• Intermediate to advanced RC pilots
• Scale and civilian aircraft enthusiasts
• Pilots looking for a stable 90" class gas model
• Anyone wanting a unique alternative to warbirds

Why This Model Stands Out

Unlike typical warbirds or aerobatic models, the Cessna 195 offers a unique combination of vintage styling and smooth, forgiving flight characteristics. Its large presence in the air, combined with scale details and realistic flight behavior, makes it a standout addition to any RC fleet.
