Hello everybody. I have been flying quads for a year now. Some time last year, I gave planes a try with the FT Flyer. I did not get a very large space to try it and I ended up crashing it. I am not very happy with the build quality and I want to try a fresh build during this vacation. I have an EMAX CF2822 motor, several 9g servos, a 3S 900mAh Lipo and 5mm depron sheets. Could you please suggest some good trainer planes I can build with this setup?

Rick from Bangalore recently ordered Mini Floater from us. You could get in touch with him regarding it's performance. None of the parts you have could come in handy but your experience could be better. Here was the thread:

@sk1701,
You could try this:

http://www.rcindia.org/beginners-zone/indore-bipe-a-model-for-newcomers/msg176609/#msg176609

All dimensions available in the pics.
Since it requires very little power, you could multiply all linear dimensions by 1.5, for a 36" span, so that you can use your CF2822.
Best wishes.

Vishal Sir the Mini Floater is a real beauty. It looks fun to build (I prefer building to buying RTF) and flies pretty tame as well, which is good for a guy used to quads. And the price is really good as well for a complete package. I am saving up for a racing quad build now but will definitely consider the mini floater.

Iyer Sir, the Bipe also looks like a good option but I'm not sure if I have the skills to build just from pictures (I'm a quad guy  ;D)
