Title: ..Trainer model
Post by: Bootlegger on September 21, 2007, 08:02:42 AM

  Hey Guy's
  I was talking to a friend a few minutes ago and he said that he was gonna build some R/C trainers out of "core plast" I think is waht he called it.  So I said to self "that sounds good" and I'm looking to build something to use as atrainer for C/L at our flying sessions.
  I sure would like some suggestions and plan sizes. I am looking at a 25 size model...

Hey Bootlegger! , i fly several 1/2a coroplast planes. They can take a beating. The largest one i have done is with an .09 torpedo and was a riot. The problem with bigger on coroplast is they become floppy. I use different diameter wooden kabob sticks to stiffen the wings and around the engine mounting area. We have a trainer we call the Trooper that has gotten about 8 people their wings, at least 50 crashes and still flies! I believe it would take some serious design thinking to get a .25 mounted and be rigid, also vibration starts to be a factor. I can send some pics of mine if you like. Good luck and would like to hear of your sucess!   Ray
