If you want a review on the plane, look for a review of the Hobbico Superstar 40. Like I said, the Hobbytown trainer is just a rebranded Superstar.

It is quick to assemble (box says something like 30 mins, which if I remember correctly is about right), and flys great.

Assembly involved is attach the tail feathers (horizontal stab lays on fuselage, then vertical stab has bolts that go through the horiz stab and fuselage with lock nuts underneath. Wings screw together with plastic straps and a metal rod for alignment. Main landing gear go into slots on the fuselage and are held on with plastic straps. Snap the clevises onto the control horns, rubberband the wing on and it is ready to go. With one exception, you have to charge the batteries overnight!

The nose gear steering is way too sensitive. Either move the control rod out on the servo or in on the nose gear. I believe I moved mine out on the servo.

Make sure you get extra props. I broke the wood prop it came with taxiing around my front yard.

I would also take the time to put the wing on, center it on the fuselage, put on a rubberband on each side, check that it is square to the fuselage by running a string from wingtip to tail on each side. When everything is square, mark the wing with a permanent marker so that when you put the wing on next time you know it is in the right place.

Buy your rubberbands at Office Depot or Staples. A big bag is something like $3 and will last a long time. I throw the rubberbands away at the end of the day, rather than trying to get the oil out of them.

This trainer was my first plane, so I will always have fond memories of it! I even have pictures of it from each time I had to make repairs
