Well the hobby shop only had one trainer in stock, a Black Horse Models Excel 2000 Trainer for .40 engines, tricylce landing gear [&o], rubber band wing mounting [&o]
But i bought it yesterday anyway, it seems like a good well built ARF, and for $105 AUD i thought i cant go wrong.
So i got stuck in and started making new landing gear mounts for a taildragger setup, basically i just mimicked the design and transpanted it further forward in the fuselage.
i also need to fahion up something so i can bolt the wings on instead of rubber bands. and attach a tailweheel assembely to the rear, i think the hobby shop has those.
i'll replace the EZ connnectors, simply because i dont trust them, they look suss, and i'll check over the pushrod assemblies and replace anything thats cheap and nasty.
also i'll double check that all the hinges are glued, i know some are because the glue got in the hinge workings of the tail feathers.

LOL i read throught the instructions and felt none the wiser, they didn't tell me anything i didn't already know

Cheers, Dan.
