I've flown a few helicopters in the past. And got the basics down. Nose-in tail-in ect. And I have a sim RFG3.5.

Just wanted to get that out of the way. I been wanting to have a go at a plane for a while. The other day I picked up 3 planes local. They need some minor repair, and covering. I have no clue as to the model, or name of the any of the planes. But it was pretty cheap nearly free. $45.00 for everything.

1 trainer.
2 mid wings.
14 servos. all work good.
2 Futaba rx's
1 jr RX
And several rx packs.
1 Thunder Tiger GP 42, which has had a rough life. Carb flanges broke off, carb jb welded back on, lol But was told it ran good.
I'm working on the engine, stripped it, clean it and going to put the carb back on.

What I'm wondering is it worth the time and money to repair these?
I'll have to buy an iron heat gun, epoxy ca, and coating. But I do want to learn how to repair. So I figured this would give me a chance.
I'll probably have to come up with at least one good engine.

They do all have good wheels and landing gear.
One is missing the canopy though. I figured I could build one from balsa.

I kind of had the idea to use the wood from the trainer to repair the others. But I'd like to have a trainer so.

Any help on iding these models would be awesome. Model & size.

Thanks

I thought about converting one to electric?
And I hope my imgs show up.
