Old Trainer Question
My father in law gave me an old trainer that he had framed up. Basically, it needs covering and maybe some beefing up here and there. It has been sitting in a box for quite awhile. 58 inch span, around 3.5 pounds or so when completed. Top wing mounted, it has
about 10 degree or less dihedral. From what I can see, the controls are just throttle, rudder and elevator. For .15 to .25 engines.
Name of trainer is MEN Trainer. The MEN stands for "Model Engineering of Norwalk. Anybody ever hear of this company?
It also lists the AMA office in Washington DC. I am assuming that this company has been defunct a long time ago. There is no plans. Just an instruction booklet. In the instruction booklet they list the rx to use as being 3 channel. Only thing that concerns me is the oldness of the wood. Fuse I think would be okay but the wing.....its glued using Elmer's Carpenter glue. I'm hoping the wing would hold up. Thinking of using between .25 and .40 for engine.
