About a year ago from the time of this article, I designed and built the very first Rc-Help Trainer. I was still very new to flying and didn't know a lot of how to get one in the air. but that didn't stop me from trying. That is after all what this hobby is about, learning new things.
After spending countless hours designing and building this plane, it was time to put it in the air. Why did it take so long? Because I didnt' want a trainer that had to have a wing brace under it. I wanted a trainer that had a self supporting wing without any spars or bracing, just foam board. That is where the Kfm3 air foil came into play.
With 3 layers of foam, the wind was strong enough to support the plane on the ground. the true test would be in the air. At this time, a year later and 46 LED's and two cold cathodes plus inverter heavier, that first wing is still holding strong. Talk about impressive.
So have a look at the very first flight of the Rc-Help trainer and post up your thoughts.
