The Dynaflite Butterfly is essentially a 3-channel powered glider. It flies very gently and slowly and would make an excellent trainer. Even though this is a large plane, it needs only a .15-.25 size engine to power it.

That being said...

Any resemblance between the plans and the wood provided is purely coincidental. The parts do not fit well and quality of the wood is questionable. There is little or no hardware included. About 10 years ago, I undertook to build this kit for a friend. He and I opened the box, studied the plans and parts for about 15 minutes, closed the box and returned the kit to the hobby shop. At that point, I was a scratch builder with 15 years experience under my belt. It's a pity because it's a pretty plane that flies great. Here is a link to an online review of the Butterfly:

I would recommend a more conventional trainer such as a Sig Kadet, Goldberg Eagle or GP PT-40. These planes will all be MUCH easier to build than the Butterfly.

You will probably need an instructor to learn to fly any type of R/C plane. Good luck, keep asking questions and keep us posted.
