post pics of your trainer planes and any building or flying stories.this is my superstar EP that I converted to glow (for longer flights) it flies great and is a real performer thanks to an OS 25.

This is my future trainer

I just finished putting my superstar together, bought the ARF kit instead of the RTF, I already have a Super 8uap and wanted a little beefer motor than the RTF provides, so I got the o.s. 46fx. All I need now is a flight pack to complete the plane, but thats easier said than done, wife has the check book (and receipt shock from previous purchases already) and keeps asking how much more money. I just can't seem to get enough over-time. I told her I was actually saving money in the long run, but that doesn't seem to be working (time to hide the receipts). Oh well, I will keep myself under control, I don't know for how long thou, the weathers been awesome and the instructor at the local field is ready to go, I quess you could say I'm living the beginner rc pilots worst nightmare, a plane that looks nice on the ground but belongs in the air. Oh to be so close, but yet sooo..... far.

I always keep a trainer handy and love the LT-40 for lazy days of flying. I have this one set up for advanced flying and it's a ball!!!

My beauty, I just land it for the first time

very nice planes people. I just added a set of wheel pants to mine (looks sporty now) and am working on a set of ailerons next. pics soon.

My camera is really messed up but i have a superstar select .40

Here is a pic of my high wing trainer

Here is a pic of my low wing trainer.

Here's my Irvine Tutor 40, I'm a bit beyond the trainer stage really, but enjoy flying it for a nice relaxed flight.

This is my Flyin' King that I trained on. It is kitted by Bruce Tharpe Engineering, and is a 60 size with an 80" wingspan.

added the wheel pants. looks real sporty now.crap webcam pics sorry...

pic 2...it flies like a dream too...next I am adding ailerons...under 3 lbs total w fuel tank full...and full size servos.

Here is my Balsa USA Stick 40

This is my first (solo) plane PT-40

Love this plane. :thumbup:

Here's mine, an Aero-Star 40 by Midwest. I really like it and flies great

I've recently learned to make some decent rolls with it, and it can go pretty fast, though I prefer flying it slowly and practicing landings. I've only run a single gallon of fuel through the engine, an O.S. 46FX

I've got a pretty lengthy construction article at:

What's left of it...

Can you tell that I've been in this hobby for a long time? I hope this picture doesn't age me.

A SIG LT-40 ARF - Great first trainer plane. Have on OS-46fx in it and have changed to a bolted down wing finally. Also ended up replacing the original CA hinges with Robarts. Still love flying this plane when I just want to relax and do touch and goes etc

The other is my first kit build, a Four Star 60 with a Saito 91. Now this plane I love. Flies great and is very forgiving, lands as easy as the LT-40. And yes, I did quite a bit of bashing on this plane, even though it was my first kit. If your interested you can look up my building thread in the Kit Forum.

I consider the LT-40 my first RC Trainer and the 4*60 as an excellent first low wing trainer.

Now lets see, what is number 3 going to be, any suggestions

MinnFlyer - that Wright Flyer is awesome.

Hey Minnflyer i have never seen the Wright brothers ariplane in R/C form. Wow that really cool.

My second SIG LT-40, My daughter did in my first one. Both were built from kits, and this is a nicer covering job. Super Trainer, floats like a butterfly, very stable.

Well, here she was as of three weeks ago:





And here she is as of last night:





I'm hoping that my darling wife is going to give me a day to work on her and get her ready to fly for fathers day! Just fitting the avionics and a final 'decorating up' to get her ready now!

Nice planes everyone!
Neil.

Here is mine only a few flights on her but i love it already

Here is how mine looked when I finished it.
