Default RE: VMAR Trainer

and, I might add, the vmax engine is NOT recommended. If you must buy the plane, you might get away with it. It will fly, and fly well. However, the wood is very light weight, and isn't put together very well. And, the covering sucks. This adds up to a plane that may not stand up to the rigors of training. I flew my vmar stinger until I burned it in a few weeks back. I now have the wing on a hanger 9 alpha fuse, and that is a great combination. However, there is SOOOOOOOO MUCH DIFFERENCE between the vmar quality and the hanger 9 quality!
However, my brother had to send his vmax .46 back before he ever fired it up because of a stuck throttle. My vmax .52 through the con-rod after about a half gallon of fuel (two flights after break in). I don't know if he ever got his .46 running or not. I've received a replacement .52 already, but haven't done anything with it yet. Stay clear. Spend the extra 20 or so bucks and get some quality!
