Is it VMar's. If so this is what I know. The guy I know has a ST 51 on his. Pretty stable flier, seemed a bit touchy (he may have had his throws a bit high), pretty good speed. Let me say this. The guy who owns this planes goes through them pretty regularly if you know what I mean. However, this plane has by far outlasted any of his others. One of the problems he has had is with the nosegear. Regardless of how he lands it seems to turn one way or the other. I must admit, I was skeptical when I first looked at the construction but the plane held together for a ton of flights (until he got to close to the ground while dogfighting, but that's another story). :eek:

Hi Five, I got a VMAR T-34 mentor with a Magnum 61 4-stroke. This plane is by far the best constructed ARF I've had. Very solid construction and very stable in the air. Only 2 things I would change,; 1 The covering is a bit cheap[shelf paper] but from a distance it looks good. 2, The main landing gear struts are too close together and the plane tips over pretty easily if taxiing too quickly. Other wise , your nephew should have no trouble with this as hie second plane. JEFF

Ground handling
 
I put larger wheels on mine and the ground handling is much better. The larger wheels also make it easier to see in the air as it can be confusing with a similar pattern on top and bottom of the wing.
The plane is very sensitive to the ailerons and I would turn down the throws to minimum to start, especially for a beginner :-)

Does any one have a picture of the t34 tail feathers and hoe they are assembled?
I need to repair the fin and elevator but it seems to be difficult to figure out
