Raidentech ARF .40 trainer
I won one on the bay by accident,,I bid $41 from a new seller plus $20 s&h...well a $61 MO in the mail and I wake up to a bay red alert buyer has been pulled!! crap there goes $61...well 2 weeks later I have a big ole package on the porch.. its here!?....I finished it up and set it in a room....I fly 1/2A, .049-.074 well in between builds I decide to play with this thing today,,only 1 other plane I have even has wheels,,,when you have a 1 lb plane you just belly in on a deadstick....this plane seemed pretty well built ,,the landing gear proved pretty weak as did my landing...but it was rolling on 3 wheels and hit the higher grass on the field and tore out the front wheel bracket...the screws were barely in the wood,maybe 1/8th inch into the wood...I put an OS .40 in it ...I dont hear much in the way of good about this engine,,but I must say it ran great and I ran it between 1/4-1/2 throttle the whole time.........like a clock,,no way I would need full throttle on this engine...of course being a 1/2a flyer I am used to flying close in and you dont generally do this with a 5 foot wingspan.......Rog
