This is a picture of my first plane. A Sig Kadet Senorita. My trainer was a Goldberg Tiger .40 barrowed from my club.

.40 size trainer, .46 size 2 stroke. I did not have enough throw to sustain it, but as long as i pulled up strait vertical, it would hoild on for 4-5 seconds. That's what got me started in aerobatics. My goal is to hover just a few feet above the runway, right in front of the pitts. My plane is more than capable.
"I have got my hands on a rocket. Now to tame it..."

Here's my first trainer. I bought it some 1 year and a half ago and it still flies (never had a serious accident with it). It's preduced here in Brazil and it has a fiberglass fuselage. Powered by a CB 46 (also produced here in Brazil) that has the same performance as a O.S 46 FX, thanks to it's dual ball-bearings. It can almost hover with a 10x7 prop. All up weight is 92 oz.

My second trainer. It only had a fuse and needed a scratch built wing, so I built it. I tried to do a 60's theme.

another pic. I have more if you want to see them.

Bottom of 60's trainer. I wanted to be able to tell the difference. I have a brand new OS 46FX and I can't wait till I see this thing fly.
I have an Airtronics RD6000 Super which lets me configure the 2 aileron servos as flaps. I should get it up this weekend, and hopefully keep it up. It has a fully symmetrical airfoil too. What do you think?

Well, it's not supposed to be a primary trainer, but I'm using my Hobby Shack Super Sport Trainer .40 on the buddy cord, and I love it. Fast, tracks like it's on rails, good in the wind and goes where it's pointed. The K&B .61 gives unlimited vertical, and it is very aerobatic. I've been flying motor gliders prior to this, so sort of started a little ahead of the normal learning curve.

That thing is neat. You should see my guitar case.....

Well, cant seem to get my pics to post, but I will describe it anyway. My trainer is a Sig Kadet LT40, powered by an Evolution .46 (not the trainer system with the 3 blade prop) turning a Top Flite 11x7.5 power point prop, finished off with a Great Planes polished aluminum spinner. I've converted it over to a taildragger, using Dubro main gear with 3.25" Sullivan Sky Lite wheels, and a Great Planes tailwheel assembly. I took some of the incidence out of the wing by raising it about 3/16" at the trailing edge, and it really made a difference in the flight characteristics. Radio system is a JR XP662 with 537 servos throughout. Plane is still in the factory covering, but I plan a recover this fall. If someone can shrink and post the pics, PM me with an Email address and I will send them to you.

Well I finally finished and flew her. Count me addicted! Got four flights on her so far and, according to my instructors, I should solo in the next flight or two.

Brought her down to a perfect three-point landing on my very first flight out. Thanks, RealFlight

Don't have pics of my own yet...made some today.

This is the plane i'm flying:


It is powered by a .53 Irvine Engine


edit:

Well,
The groovy plane had her second serious crash today. It turns out both of the last 2 crashes were a result of a stripped servo sprocket. The right aileron was all the way down and on takeoff, plane rolled right and cartwheeled down the runway. I was taking off with crosswind and all it took was a little left aileron to send the plane rolling left. I wish I had inspected the servo gear closer after the first crash (only Monokote damage and servo housing) go figure. This crash ripped the tail feathers off and the wing. Good thing those nylon bolts shear off as designed. Well I broke my first prop too. I learned an important lesson about checking servos after a crash. Although my pre-flight did not show anything up, a pressure test on the ailerons would have found it immediately. Well, I am working feverishly and think I will have it airworthy by tomorrow, believe it or not. Good luck all!

Here is a picture of my Super Frontier Trainer, and also my most favorite plane after the trainer the Sig Four Star 60.
Both excellent planes but the Four star is truly awesome.Here is a picture of my Four Star with the canopy trimmed, the turtledeck sheated new wheel pants and a Saito 100 in the nose.

what no Duraplanes, i will post a pic when i get one taken.

Ist trainer , Seagull Boomarang 40 ARF. APC 53. Has a semi symetrical wing, could call it a sport trainer i think.

Here is my Alpha. I really like the plane. I work with a guy who wanted to "ease" into the sport, so he bought park flyer and ended up with an underpowered static display in his garage. My Alpha has enough power for me for the time being. I fly with the throttle just a little past half way, unless of course I'm taking off. Since this picture was taken, I had a hard landing. I was about four feet off the ground and she started to bank to the right. I wanted to correct to the left, but because I am dyslexic, I corrected "right", hit the wing, rolled her, and she ended up on her top. I did surprisingly little damage. I had to CA the back end of the fuselage and secure the tail section. I was real lucky, but they are very hardy planes. I also added the number 13 to the top of the horizontal stabilizer. I was born on the 13th of December. It seems to be a recurring number for me, not that I believe in bad luck....well, my ex-wife was born on a 13th also...

as promised, my Duraplane, notice all the grass

No

My avatar will tell the story. Just another avistar in the sky.
