Can someone tell me what plane this is?
« on: June 03, 2012, 05:45:35 PM »
Hello, I am hoping someone can tell me what plane this is. I built it over 20 years ago and just dug it out of the rafters. (I did not even remember it was up there) it has an "old" FOX 35 mounted on her. Any help would be apreciated. I know its a little dusty, Im cleaning it up right now and going to reseal her.
Thanks,
Mike

It's an original (not recent ARF) Top Flite Tutor.

It looks ready to clean up and fly.  (well, maybe tighten up that hinge line).

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

Looks like you have some "cool places" to stash a model airplane in the rafters...above what looks like a hobby shop! H^^
Clean it up and fly.

Looks like a well worn Tutor Original! With a tripler, wing tips and gap filled hinge lines these really fly well with a Brodak .40 engine!

    Hi Micheal, the plane looks like a really dirty one to me.   LOL.  I'm happy to see you have re-kindled your interest in C/l. Welcome back .
