Trainers
A Trainer is a plane that
will help you in your first stages of learning to fly remote
control planes. As a rule they are a high winged aircraft with a
flat bottom wing, there are some trainers with a semi-symmetrical
airfoil which will let you perform more aerobatics as you
advance. They usually have tricycle landing gear and have a
slower stall speed than other type of aircraft. You will also
notice the dihedral build into the wing this help it to self
correct to stable flight.

| Tricycle
Gear When building
a trainer with tricycle landing gear be sure to file a flat
spot on the nose gear strut to prevent it from slipping in
the control arm. |
| Rubber Bands
If you place your used fuel
soaked rubber bands in a old coffee can with cat litter it
will absorb the fuel and make the rubbers bands last longer. |
