Dave Nyce:
Where can I find a plan for the ManWin Trainer (made from coroplast) for use with a Babe Bee engine?  I looked online, but have not yet found it.

Thanks

Dave

Here you go.

Dave Nyce:
Thanks Brent!

I am surprised that it needs such a large engine offset, and that there is no wingtip weight.

But I will try it.

I saw on Ebay that someone is offering a 3D printed engine mount.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/224664826383

The eBay 3d printed motor mounts break very easily.  I wouldn't recommend using them at all.

No plane "needs" that much engine offset.  I just slows the thing down and makes for very positive line pull.
There's no needs for 3-D printing unless you just want to print because you can.  Any wood or sheet metal would work.
