Gday all,

I posted in the beginners section asking if anyone knew of a giant scale trainer to use as a club trainer/hack. I got a couple of great replies, but I got to thinking (always dangerous)...There’s nothing out there that fits my exact desires, so why not create one myself?

My goal is to create an airframe that’s easy to build and repair, fly like a trainer and do a little bit more as the pilots grow.

At the moment, my rough idea is to build something with a 12 foot wingspan, about 8 ft loa, high wing, tail dragger for about a 70 to 100 cc gas engine.

The wing;
Ailerons and flaps, 1 servo per surface
Symmetrical, no idea what airfoil yet
0 degrees dihedral, 1.5 ish degrees washout
