ORIGINAL: Mr67Stang

It's advertised weight is 5 lbs (the standard weight for a .40-.46 trainer is 4.5 to to 6.5lbs) so if the weight is advertised accurately this trainer will hover with a .60 on it. It has a 70in wing span which is equal to the larger .46 powered trainers.
Heh, heh... Yes.

I find that you need to add between 1lb to 2lbs to any model on those pages larger than a .40 size and scale this proportionately up as you move up in size...

I've seen the plane, and it's decent for the money, but as you said putting it together will be problematic for a newbie, for which this is catered for, since the instructions are so bad.

If the newbie has help from someone who is experienced, they can do well with it.
