Aircraft Modelers Research kits
Looking for some build thread on the AMR kits. Their website is very informative, but I just don't see much activity. I'd like to order their Trainer 50 for my next build.

RE: Aircraft Modelers Research kits
There are several AMR build threads.
Trainer 50 [link]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_8249158/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm[/link]
Big Stick 85 [link]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_8906629/tm.htm[/link]
33% Waco(mine) [link]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_8053911/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm[/link]
42% Decathalon [link]http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_7846147/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm[/link]
There are more I am sure, I think you will find that everyone is impressed with the kit quality and customer service received from AMR. I can honestly highly recommend their kits.

RE: Aircraft Modelers Research kits
I hope that this post is still relevant....I would suppport this view - having built, flown and crashed the T50...I think the fuselage has more new construction in it than existing! It is all that I hoped for - to get me into working at a large scale with big engines and all the stuff that goes with it. I had an alu wing joiner fabricated and this has meant that the wings have survived all of the crashes (3). I feel that the undercarriage could be srtonger. On my last crash, the elevator servo linkage failed and I lost all elevator authority so it landed rather heavily and bent the u/c. So lesson here is to use heavy duty linkages all round. I have now modified the design of the u/c so that it has a sprung cross brace to withstand some of the loads. I have also installed a new tailwheel, because the Dubro one that was supplied did not take too kindly to be dragged through sheep dung!
It looks very impressive in the air and is essentially a very sedate aircraft unless you do things that you should not
. Like I was practicing touch and goes, and on one pass 'touched' the ground a little too hard - it ballooned in the air and I wacked open the throttle - but forgot that I had flaps fully deployed and stalled it....not a pretty site. I broke its back. However I made a cruck from 1/2" plywood from a packing crate (from furniture that I had just been delivered!) and rebuilt a few formers, and it is as good as new...
Cheers
