Title: .25 Size Trophy Trainer
Post by: Brian Massey on June 08, 2013, 11:43:54 PM
Last year I thought it would be fun to build a .25 size TT for Clint's "25 class". Shrunk down the plans but never got around to doing the building, but my friend Norm did. He's almost ready to fly it, just fitting a tank.

I'm wondering how it will fly, and wonder how many others have shrunk the TT down in size, and what the results were? Norm should be flying his this week sometime . . . if we cool off from these blasted 109+ temps that is.

One of the pics shows Norm holding it next to a full size TT for comparison.

Makes me happy to see another Stunt 25 model being done. A 25 sized Trophy Trainer should be awesome. Good thinking, Mike. Can't wait to see Norms plane.
Wish I had time to build something for my own event.

If I get the new Still Stuka done in time, you are more than welcome to fly It.

I like the looks of it.  Looks like about the same size as the Original Magician.   Now Clint aren't you done with the new shop so you can start building something?   I myself never stop building, it is the finishing that gets me tied up.

For the most part, the shop is done. However, there is no power to it yet. It will require a electrical panel upgrade to the main house, which wouldn't be a big deal if had 5 spare minuets to deal with it. I don't. Work has been keeping me hopping pretty good the past few months.

Nothing I need to be careful about Clint. I have seen you fly enough to know that you are always welcome to fly any of my planes.
If this new Stuka flies anything like my last one, you are going to love flying it.

Ummm, you never figured out what crashed the last one, so maybe "better" would be good.
