Default RE: Bridi RCM Trainer


ORIGINAL: w8ye

There are several variations of this plane around all designed by Joe Bridi with most people claiming the original shown in the plans above as being the best.

Some have a 62" wingspan and other variations

There were later ones with the rudder at the rear

Some had a semi symmetrical airfoil

The last kit that Joe Bridi made was the Krafty 60.

Great Planes had the Tower 60 and there were two different RCM plans

That has to be why the trainer could fly a 60...it was redesigned.

There's one plan I would love to find...but having trouble, is a plane that was about 25 size that was pretty much an exact copy of the RCM Expert .40. It was a snappy little bird and fun to fly....but I have only seen one and haven't had luck finding the plans. Seems like I searched the RCM database once (for RCM Mini Expert) and did not find it, but could have searched wrong ..or perhaps it was called something else. I would like to build one of those......lol..... working on 5-6 now (plus a special project that should innovate the R/C world) , got 5-6 more after that to do...If I get them all built, will have about 15 planes in the hanger.

Anybody know of this plane?....or maybe what it was called?
