Best Beginner RC Plane

This is the Slow Trainer by RCTestFlight (you can find him on YouTube). He has a PDF for the plane and a bunch of videos about this plane and how to build it. In my opinion, after lots of experience with other purchased and scratch built beginner RC planes, this is the best. It is extremely easy to fly and build. Plus, you aren't out a lot of money if you total it in a crash and it is very easy to repair.

i flew it gain but i had trouble controlling it up in the air. Your right about putting a spar in the wings. I was coming out of a loop and the wing just folded, lol. yes, it is repairable like you said. well, Ill keep trying till I get it right.

That looks like it's a mini version of the trainers in the 50's, like the DeBolt Cruizer

Thanks! Its amazing plane and truly the best beginner scratchbuilt

[anthonyperkins]

well, I almost had this thing flying. the wing came off as was coming out of a loop. Need more hot glue, anyways, Ill be making it again and flying it really soon. I made a little modification on the wing. Instead of having the edge roll down, I had a....maybe 30 degree curve down, about in wide and it just floated till i did the loop. Will keep you posted....

Is there a way I could get plans for this? I've looked at the links provided but couldn't find anything.

[kerimil]

yup so it seems - I haven't build one yet but I'll... good work btw there aren't much videos that explain the basics

Greetings! I came across your channel by happenstance. Are you in the Chicago area?

[BilShankly]

wow fantastic vid is the overall weight of the plane/weight of battery

[anthonyperkins]

Im going to build this  because i need a beginner plane. I keep crashing my scratch build and this will help me.

[anthonyperkins]

I still keep crashing mine, cant get it o stay up in the air. Just tool it out and it crashed twice and broke my ESC. DANGIT, it is repairable though.
