this is a 6yr old trainer that was given 2 me

Somewhat rare plane, very rugged, always got a lot of attention at the field: CheckerboardAir Classic:

I have one of these.

flew my newly redesigned superstar EP electric to nitro conversion plane today...awsome performance. I tried my best to make the wing fold and not even a hint of flex!!! and I flew it inverted for the first time. flies just fine inverted with a little down elevator. next I am adding the new wing I made with ailerons on it.I messed up by putting the dark color monokote on the top of the wing and the white on the bottom. sometimes its hard to tell if its upside down or not lol...will have to add some more graphics to help out with that.new pics soon

Thank you to all of the veterans out there with all of the words of wisdom. When I "got the itch" I often came to the RC Universe web site to sooth the agony of having to wait to buy while convincing my wife that this is a good investment.
I flew successfully my airplane this weekend past and actually did not do any severe damage. Took the airplane out for 3 more successful flights today. I've attached photo's of the maiden flight...The first picture was a before in case the after was of a pile of kindling.

Here is mine ... it is a Nova 40, and has suffered several catestrophic failures of the dumb thumbs kind. This one has taken a real beating, and I still take it out from time to time.

oops ... wrong picture ... that was before the rebuild ... Here she is in one piece

Bo

Here's mine - flew for the first time on Sunday.

Seagull Boomerang with OS46LA

Here is mine, perfectly balanced!

My Kadet LT-40 with Thunder TIger .46 Pro.

my trainer was an ounce heavy at the wingtip. i corrected it, and it didn't make a difference.

Me and my LT 40. We just soloed today!

I just started construction on my first low wing plane last night...its a scratchbuilt design based on a left over superstar EP wing I had...all I have left to do is cover it ( hobbyshop closed today july 4th) and install gear...pics soon...( black on front is fuel proof paint in engine compartment)

mine is a pt40 mkIII i have a Royal 40 in it and Jr max 5 channel radio....flew it for the first time wednesday and the trainer told me i did real good!!! she flies gr8!!! now i just have to get the money for the AMA and club due's then i am up again!!!!!

That Royal 40 is what I run in my PT40. It required 15% to run right though. I should get my green string soon. It's never cheap, is it? Glad to hear you did so well, good luck!

pt-40s are great planes. They have large control surfaces for a trainer allowing you to do things that your right-flyer can't. i was able to torque roll mine...

my scratchbuilt plane...covered finally...only my second covering job but it's not too bad...

Here's my high and low wing trainers... a Hobbico Avistar and a Hobbico SkyVista. Both fly great. The SkyVista is much easier to land smoothly, thanks to the wide stance gear.

Still working on mine

kingcobra, you skipped pic 4. you sent strait from pic 3 to pic 5.

space you torque rolled youres? that's alittle much for a trainer........howed you get out of it.......what kinda engine was in it?
