Go to Airliners.net, and check out pictures of Cessnas and other light GA airplanes.
that will give you some ideas. Install aluminum main landing gear, paint it to match.
Don't forget a pilot! You'll end up with a trainer that really looks like a plane.[sm=shades_smile.gif]

How about a Killer Vee? Designed around an early electric motor, the instructions show a .10 option.

If I had a .10 laying around, I'd grab a House of Balsa Chea-pass.
Check the 1/2a forum for a thread on it.[sm=shades_smile.gif]

I agree with skyraider71, check out the 1/2A forum. There's a great thread on the Herr Cloud Ranger and another on the Herr (Sig) Lil' Extra. Both are currently available. The Lil' Extra is an arf and the Cloud Ranger is a kit.

I would second the HOB Spacewalker. It is a great flier for 3 channel receiver. Plus it builds real easy.
