Sorry Tony! I just now saw this thread.
I'll be the first. I actually built this RCH Trainer for my wife. She's gonna start flying with me this year. I'm so excited to fly with her.
I just have two rubber bands holding the wing on for the time being. When it comes time to fly, I'll surely add 3-4 more.
You can see on the tail, I added a thin bamboo skewer for some rigidity when the elevator moves

I've got a Spektrum AR400 Rx on this plane with a Grayson Hobby 2212-13 1000kv motor with a 20amp esc, Hitec 12g servos (from my LHS), and I'll have a 3S 2200mAh lipo in it for power. I'm gonna be building a second one and I'll like to put landing gear on it. Will probably keep the "belly lander" for my wife.
There we go, Tony! Just a bit about my RCH Trainer.
I'm sorry about the links and all...for some reason the Insert Image tab isnt working properly.

I tested it out and it was working for me. You just click the image upload button, click on URL tab, and insert the URL. I fixed your post and put the IMG code in to it. It's looking great bro. I need to get some pictures of the RCH trainer and get them posted on here. I dont' think hardly anyone has seen it completed.

Hello
This is Waldo and the 1st airplane i try to build. It went together good. PROS: Tony's build vid's r excellent! CONS: none. i luv this plane. The hardest part was trying to figure out how to attach the propeller?! The instructions 4 the Park450 Brushless motor dint evn mention propellers? it came wit a collet kinda spinner thingy that woldent evn fit my 10x7 prop cuz the motor shaft was too BiG? i guess they figure everybody is smart nuf to figure it out,,, wrong. Grrr!!! i cnat find the lastest pics but these r from last week. And no, i dont take OFF with da BiG wheelz,,, i jst throw it up in the air,,, but it sure lands nice

I think I need landing gear like that, my first landing folded the firewall in half.

BTW,,, those wheelz r made of 4 water-bottle caps, a wire coat hangar and foam from a swimming-pool-noodle that we got from Dollar tree for ((wait 4 it,,,)) a dollar! i found a YouTube vid' tht shows how to make them whn i search u tube for: DIY Landing Gear Bixler. umm,,, i cnat land on grass cuz i always noze ovr and brake the glued-on nose extensions. its easier (4 ME) to jst land in the driveway on BiG wheelz

Here is the one Tony cut out for me. It flew great right up until the time I landed and caved the firewall in. I have fixed it up and she's ready to fly again the first day it's not blowing 20mph outside. Also, you'll notice the 2 washers/bolts, those are how I mounted the wing instead of using rubber bands. If you want to see how I did it check out my trainer thread Another RCH Trainer thread - Page 4
