RE: Super Trainer 60
I did an electric conversion on this plane. I did change a few things. The stock landing gear wire is pretty soft. The main gear blocks can use more glue to reinforce them. I used (2) servo's for the ailerons. I did not use any of the included EZ type connectors. I used Dubro EZ connectors. The first one I built I had a worn out ASP .61 in the nose. My brother in law flys his with a new Magnum 61, my brother flys his with a Magnum 91. I think a 91 four stroke would be perfect for this plane. We had to mount the 2s engines as far forward as we could.
For servo's I used the [link=http://www.hobbypartz.com/kahaoubrmo14.html]TP 5010's[/link]
The [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10294464/tm.htm]"E" conversion [/link] thread.
If you have built a few ARF's or have any building skills, you should not have much of a problem. I would say to seal the covering with Luster coat clear before you begin building. The covering does lift with time and fuel.
He plane does fly very well. It will slow down to a crawl for landing, has good control with higher rates, does not have any real bad tendencies in the air. You can fly it with full up elevator and a touch of throttle, it will just hang in the air.
