Hi folks! I just found this: http://www.outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=2998

the classic trainer both easy to build and to fly in a .20 cu.in. sized engine package

Hi WC, yes appears to be an excellent little trainer and a rather simple build.

My all time favorite in a twenty size trainer is the Sig Kadet Soniorita a bit larger than that design but is stick built instead an likely a light wingloading yet. Perfect for any .25 and would work with a .20.

Only problem with a .20 is they are virtually extinct now with hardly anyone building that displacement any more so at least in my country at least a .25 would be the engine of choice.

Wind that plane looks like a good choice for a trainer. I learned to fly on a Little Stik with an OS 25 on it. Small bore engines can be found on Ebay all the time. Getting them shipped to Italy might be the problem. Here is a link to a similar .25 sized plane. I have one of these and my buddy is building one. They are light weight and can be built in a weekend. Mine flys very well and is stable enough to be a good trainer.

Here is mine with an extended wing for electric flight. I decided electric was too expensive to get into so found a new in bax OS FP25 on ebay for $35. Thats the good thing about small motors. No one flies them much anymore so they go cheap.
