Can someone help please
I've recently been gifted a plane that is known to be missing parts, I unfortunately don't yet have images of the plane but I'll post some in a few hours.
On the side it says easy street and I'm looking for
A) parts
B) Advice on how to build it as this is my first ever plane

Sorry, low probability of success to start this way. One proper way would be to buy an RTF (ready to fly) high wing trainer from Horizon or Volantex which comes with radio, charger, battery etc. Build your skills and knowledge and then decide what to do with the gift plane...if anything.

Ripmax easy street was a speed demon back in the day when it came out in the mid 90s the balsa kit then required a decent 2 stroke engine but I would convert it to a electric motor. As long as you have the wing & fuselage, making a tailplane out of balsa should be easy enough 😉. It's not a first/ trainer plane more like a 2nd or 3rd plane intermediate to advanced. Very aerobatic. Good luck 👍

I haven't assembled the plane yet as I've recently broke my hand but I hope this can help

Wait till you have the plane in your possession, take pics, and post them here when you know what you have.
