Hmmm.....where did that Classic come from?
Funny how "trainers" are always something we come back to to relax and enjoy flying. Here is my Trainer 60 I've been out flying is calmer winds.
Not much trainer about it.
This Orange Telemaster 40 was only $120 local pick up (no engine) so I mounted an OS SF 46 on it, and it flies great. Check out those vintage wheels!
With the sun in the right direction, you can't miss the chrome leading edge on landings. Tail dragger is the only way to go!
I sold some balsa wood, Monokote covering irons, and a sanding bar, $230 in a day to recycle back into the hobby and Saturday, I pick up an Ultra Sport 40 with a Rossi 53 w/ pipe on it, $230, receiver ready.
The engine or the kit sells for about that, so what a bargain I thought. I'm sure I'll be pleased with the workmanship and hours someone else had put into building the US 40,
and I'll be focused on the flying chores instead, because in CA they say balsa dust leads to cancer, so you can never be too safe!
