Default RE: Balancing a Trainer


ORIGINAL: combatpigg

John, too bad so many young men have been raised to think that building a simple 2 channel trainer from plans with a #11 blade and a sanding block is out of the question.
Not sure if this is directed at me or just a general statement on the " state of the union" but I do agree with it.

My original plan was to get a kit to build. I did build a few planes, Giullows (sp?) stick and tissue rubber power free flight planes, in my younger days 30 something years ago. Also have a 2 meter sailplane I built during that time that needs repair from my last attempts of flying it during that same timeframe. When I was looking at the cost of the kits, covering and everything else Tower sent me an email ad about the 60 Trainer that was on sale for about $100 and simple economics won out. I decided to concentrate on getting some flight time before I decide which way I want to go-either unpowered or powered-for the next kit I build. For me much of the pleasure is from building so my next plane will definitely be built by yours truly.<br type="_moz" />
