Quote: "There's no better place to start than one of Great Planes' Trainers when it comes to building your first R/C model airplane. These Trainers are extremely easy to build. The machine cut and sanded parts go together fast and accurately. And accuracy is important when building a model; you need a straight wing and fuselage to assure that the model flies straight and true. The design of the Trainer with its large wing area and long tail moment offers stable flight which is very important when learning to fly. We urge you to build on a flat surface so you will end up with a model with no warps or twists.

This photo instruction book will take you through step by step from start to finish. It is suggested that you read through these instructions and identify and mark the parts before you begin assembly. Refer to the plans and parts list for actual sizes of parts and materials needed to finish your model, whether it is the Trainer Twenty, Forty or Sixty..."
