How to Build Easy Balsa kit from Amazon

This is a time lapse of my Guillow's Balsa Cessna 172 build. Check out my other videos for more in-depth building information.

Thank you so much for watching!

I love the cat watching your work and silently judging your technique .

[EURIPODES]

Took a weekend to build and five seconds to crash. Gotta love this hobby 😂

[RecoveryLife]

Excellent build, i would love to see a longer video explaining thise beautiful flaps

[TheCheech]

Dude this is awesome. I love your building companion as well. I would love to do lights on one of my models like you have done

0:48 i like how your cat is just sitting there watching

I remember building this kit as a kid (free flight only). Couldn't get it to fly straight to save my life. Even without out rubber-band power, it had a nasty tendency to drop one wing if it ever lost momentum or got hit by a breeze. Thinking back, it was probably a weight distribution problem.

Cool build though.

Great build! I would like to see the flight (good or bad) with the after action report and/or accident report. Curious as a pilot.

[Reuben-ny]

That turned out really nice! Great job making those modifications. Looks like the kit quality has come a long way since the die cut (oops, darn spelling) days. Very well done!

Oof! That first take off.. I hope it's flying again!

[designandbuildguy]

Can you give us a list of the electrical components you used ?
I am shortly going to build this same model and would like something to go on for purchasing of those items, thanks !

[zubuxstein]

When it does not show you the plane flying, you know it did not turn out well.
The moment I saw the motor of choice, I knew that was the beginning of the end.

[RealBurnerlover]

good sir. What are those pins and how did u put them through…

[imprezacabbit]

Wow you’re really good at building these things! I’m planning on trying to build my own RC balsa wood airplane and this was very helpful!

P.S. your cat is adorable :)

[christophertibbetts]

Nice build. I’m working on a j3 piper 17 1/2 from dumas. Where’d you get that landing gear?

[alexherrera]

Nice build,
Do you have a recommendation for a very easy balsa build, the one in your video to me is really complicated or too many parts.
i am looking for something tral simple and not coverings gor s trainer about 40in.
thanks

[kanenas]

Great build! What battery/motor/prop and fly weight do you have? Thanks!

[spdrcr]

that looks like it has plenty of power!

[petworthtraction]

Much better to build a kit bought from a local hobby shop than to build one bought from that mail order place.

[bennyboyboy]

Hi Troy I have a west wings hawker hart and would love to convert it to RC but I literally have no idea where to start! Do you have any resources you could point me towards? Many thanks!

How the heck are the flaps being controlled? @ 2:04

[robjhaward]

Most of the parts are unavailable. Will you be able to post a new list of a different similar model?
