This Trainermaster only cost me five bucks but I had to re-build it. With all the monokote peeling I did, I don't feel that it was much easier or quicker than building from a kit! I got it last Fall and finished it in 2 or 3 weeks. It flys great with my old Veco 61 for power. The only thing is I broke the Perry carb on another plane an replaced it with a K&B carb that I had. It runs OK now but as great as it was. So basically, all I have to do is find another Perry and this plane will be ready for this season and will likely be one of my favorite models.
