Overview

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is an American four-seat, single-engine, high wing, fixed-wing aircraft made by the Cessna Aircraft Company. First flown in 1955, more 172s have been built than any other aircraft. The Skyhawk name was originally used for a trim package, but was later applied to all standard-production 172 aircraft.

Measured by its longevity and popularity, the Cessna 172 is the most successful aircraft in history. Cessna delivered the first production model in 1956, and as of 2015, the company and its partners had built more than 44,000 units. The aircraft remains in production today.

VQ Models introduce the Cessna 172 Skyhawk in size 50 EP-GP, this is a popular size, you can fit a .55 2-stroke nitro engine, a .82 4-stroke nitro engine or a 10cc gasoline engine. You can also use an electric motor (like the Elecrospeed Boost 50 electric motor) and easily install a 4S - 5000 mAh battery. Whether you decided on IC or electric, the Cessna 172 will fly like a high wing sport plane.
