The Flex Innovations Cessna 170 G2 60E Super PNP Electric Airplane is an officially licensed plane that offers something incredible for everyone. This style of plane is designed to have an incredible balanced airframe to suite all flying styles. At first glance, it is a forgiving aircraft with rough field capabilities. Upon further inspection you will find it is capable of wild 3D aerobatics to gentle touch and goes. The Cessna 170 60E G2 is the go-to, all around perfect airplane for maximum fun and minimal hassle.

Airframe
This G2 model builds on the extremely popular Flex Innovations Cessna 170 60E. Improvements were made to the airframe to take the Cessna 170 60E G2 to the next level! Flex Innovations equipped this model with a powerful Potenza 60L motor for incredible performance. The motor is then paired to the Potenza 100A ESC for super smooth throttle response and reliability. Optional floats are available giving this plane an extremely wide flight envelope.

Aura 8
An Aura 8 Advanced Flight Control System (AFCS) is installed in the Cessna 170 G2 60E with no additional programming required. The Aura 8 AFCS is a highly refined 3-axis gyro that makes the aircraft fly like its bigger and flying in less wind. Due to its advanced implementation, it is unobtrusive, feeling like there is nothing in the way of the pilot!

  • Light wing loading, with large control surfaces for an incredibly wide flight envelope, and the ultimate performance

Was pretty excited to try this g2 170 airframe and compare to my eflite Cessna 150 and carbon cub ss. The flex is no way near the quality of eflite.

My cessna has overspray all over it from poor painting. The battery hatch was glued shut from the factory. The flap servo failed after two flights. The prop adapter would not bolt up properly. The holes were not aligned. Took some tweaking. I’m not impressed with the aura controller. I’m old school and know how to fly without a gyro. I could feel it when I had it on. Just save your money.

I would suggest sticking with eflite. My carbon cub will fly slower and does better 3d. Has a very broad flight envelope. The eflite Cessna flies mush better as well.

Don’t waste your money on this flex garbage. They are not a company that I will support.

Similar issues as the other reviewer. Holes, didn’t line up well, elevators took a lot of sanding and tweaking to get them to fit correctly. The 5mm spacer for the main wheel got stuck on the axle and took me 20 minutes of work to get it off. Sanded the axle and still had to drill out the spacer a hair to get it on. The wings took a lot of tweaking to get the holes to line up for the bolts. I use Jeti and this was the first time I have ever programmed a serial/X bus connection. A little bit a of learning curve, but not bad at all. At least all the electronics have worked as advertised. I will fly it with the Aura for a bit and see if I like it, if not I will just pull that and run my own receiver.

My first order was the "red" Cessna 170. The paint was sticky for some reason and the fuselage was damaged. Also, it was maroon, not red.

I returned it and ordered the orange Cessna 170, which I love. It is a very capable flyer, capable of hovers and rolling barriers. I have had to do a repair of the attachment point for the lower strut. Final verdict? Great flyer, but with quality control issues.
