Hi all, a new flier at our club recently bought the aviomodelli cessna trainer and the Tango. Much more work than your average ARF, but they do look great when finished, don't they?

On the Cessna, we had to increase the incedence on the wing to about 2 degrees + . This plane is a great flier....or should I say was.

The owner, (my pupil) started doing landing last week, and on the last flight yesterday, he came in, bounced on landing and openned the throttle. He flew out of a stall and after I'd finished screaming at him , he came in for another landing. He bounced the plane again and openned the throttle again, this time the plane stalled and went straight into the tarmac at full throttle from about 15-20 feet nose first.

I was sure the plane would be ruined, but after looking it over this guy should be flying again by wednesday!!!

The fuselage has a few slight dents in it and the wing will need a bit of foam and balsa on the leading edge. the firewall came loose, but a bit of 30min epoxy will deal with that.

I think this is a great plane for the price, and with an irvine .53 it flies great, lands a bit fast till you realise you can bring it in with the nose quite high, and allow it to slow for pretty landings.
