Default RE: Has anyone built a AMR Trainer 26cc ?

Greetings to all,

I am just finishing the building of the AMR trainer and I can assure it goes together exactly as you could expect. Light ply is the structural material with balsa stringers and also for filling where needed. I built many kits including the Sig kits. Kits are kits and they require squares and rulers and pins etc...and lot of sanding to get it done. AMR kits go together with just the instruction manual. And if you have built kits before, you will refer to the manual only occasionally. The built-in building keys are exactly that to facilitate construction and alignment. Everything locks in even before gluing. I have even cut windows and a windshield for mine. This is a fun kit and even more enjoyable to fly.
I have seen the prototype fly and in the hands of an able flyer it will do basic IMAC manoevers including knife edge as solid as can be expected.

You will not go wrong with this one.......and it looks somewhat like the retired Midwest Sky Squire of back then. Remember?

Suggestion: When building, make a cover between the firewall and the windshield so that you can easily access the ignition system and the batteries and the fuel tank if needed....and you will surely need to someday.
