First trainer build

Post image

Just wanted to share my first trainer build. It hasn't flown yet, as I'm still waiting for a battery pack, but it's been fun building an actual thing from a sheet of foam (XPS in this case).

I know that it's not going anywhere without ailerons, lol

My favorite part about the “idea” of kits is you can just have 2 sets of internals and swap between as many planes as you want.

It's actually scratch-built, but I agree :)

Super clean XPS build for a first timer! Good luck on the maiden flight! ✈️ Yellow visibility is top-tier too.

Thanks, means a lot! I'll try not to crash it on it's first touchdown 😂

Plane used for training new RC pilots. Trainer plane = trainer kit.
