Cessna 210 micro indoor RC plane made from lightweight foam
The ParkZone Cessna 210 indoor RC model airplane can, without question, be called revolutionary. First offered in 2007, no one really forecast this completely new type of scale RC model airplane, ready to fly right out of the box. Praise for the Cessna 210 prototype model plane has been universal, to include their ParkZone Ember RTF indoor airplane. Note that the C-210 can be flown outdoors under calm wind conditions, and at any indoor model flight facility.
First item to note is the price. For under $150, you get everything needed to fly. This includes a three channel, fully proportional radio with transmitter; the micro RC planes ready to fly model airplane with internal electric motor and receiver/servos unit; and a separate flight battery charger.

As an added, huge bonus, the radio operates on the new (since 2006) radio frequency band of 2.4 GHz. The incredible spread spectrum techniques allowed in this 2.4 GHz frequency band permit interference free operation, without any concern over someone else accidentally jamming your transmitter frequency.
To put the price of this ParkZone Cessna 210 indoor RC plane in perspective, the radio control system alone (i.e. without airplane or motor) would be considered a bargain at $150.
Light weight is essential to any well flying indoor RC plane, especially for these small indoor flyers. The Cessna 210 scale indoor RC plane meets this requirement exactly. Precisely made of lightweight foam, the airplane weighs a mere 18 grams.

It is probably just as well that the Cessna 210 indoor RC plane comes ready to fly; the small size of the airplane and its components would simply be too difficult for the average modeler to construct.
The Cessna 210 indoor RC plane flies like a dream. In over 35 years of flying radio control model aircraft, this little gem is in the top three - the micro RC plane Ember being number one.
Flying the Cessna 210 scale indoor RC plane
The Cessna's flight has a great feel to it, and you immediately sense you are in full control. The indoor RC plane radio system and control setup are completely matched. The Cessna has a wide speed range, and flies just like a much larger and heavier model. The plane's small size and light weight makes for minimal adverse stall characteristics. There is really nothing special to add on flying the Cessna 210. The model comes right out of the box properly balanced. The down thrust of the motor may look a bit excessive, but this is all part of the arrangement of the model, and should not be altered in any way.
Cessna 210 indoor RC plane transmitter
The ParkZone Cessna 210 micro indoor RC plane transmitter has fully proportional electronic trim settings for the elevator and rudder. Be sure to check that the flight control surfaces move freely and in the correct direction, and it is best to have a helper do a hand launch for your first flight. Just use full throttle, and a straight ahead pushing motion for your initial takeoff. The Cessna will be fully controllable, and you can trim as needed for level flight.
I just can't say enough good things about this unique scale indoor RC plane. The technology for the jam-proof radio, tiny flight components, in a ready to fly format that did not exist even two years ago.
Cessna 210 indoor RC plane - everything in one box
As you can see in the picture at right, everything needed for flying the Cessna 210 fits in one box. This includes the Cessna 210 airplane, transmitter, flight battery and charger. Just pick it up, and you are ready to go. You can even fly the C-210 outdoors as a park flyer under calm wind conditions.
