Mentor High Wing Trainer

High wing .40 size aileron trainer

65" wingspan, 47" long, 698 sq. in. wing area, 71 oz. flying weight. With a wing loading of under 15 oz. per sq. foot, the Mentor is an ideal "forty-size" trainer. It is heavy enough to exhibit solid flight characteristics yet light enough to perform both standard and aerobatic flight with style. Made of ELAPOR foam, Mentor is much more durable than conventional built up balsa models covered with heatshrink film. Airplane is capable of surviving less than perfect landings; the training pilot will gain a lot of flying experience rather than building/repair experience.

The flying speed of this airplane is broad with very low landing speeds for easy and smooth landings. The two part wing with carbon fiber spar is easily removed for transport. Battery access is quick and easy; the cowl snaps in place and is removed without tools. Includes complete illustrated building instructions.
