Default RE: Duraplane Trainer 40

Ditto to what the others said.

But something nice about this plane is that it is almost indestructable.

It flies a bit fast for a trainer, but there is a way to fix this.

Get some Coroplast (Election sign material - it's available at Sign-making stores) Cut a long strip about 8" wide (With the ribs going in the 8" direction) and fold it around the wing to get the shape.

Cut it so it stops (Top and bottom) at the wing's trailing edge (Just forward of the aileron)

Now duct tape it to the wingtip so that 5" or so extends past the wing. This will extend the total wingspan by 10"

When you are good at flying it, just remove the coroplast and you have a more advanced plane.
