Now made with the new Maker Foam the Flite Test Tiny Trainer is even better! The Tiny Trainer Mighty Mini is specifically designed to cover all the basics when it comes to RC Flight. Whether you are a beginner yourself, or if you are trying to bring a newcomer into this wonderful hobby, the Tiny Trainer will assist them in making every flight a great experience! This plane can be built and converted into 4 different designs that will guide you through every level of getting started flying.
Educators, group leaders, and parents looking to make a memory with a loved one can build the Tiny Trainer as a free flight (hand tossed) glider or a powered RC airplane. A little clay in the nose for balance, and your ready to toss the plane back in forth with a friend! Remove the clay and add 2 servos and you have a great 2 channel glider to learn elevator and rudder control. Swap out your glider nose for the powered nose and enter into the world of 3 channel flight. Once you are comfortable with slow lazy eights and graceful loops, remove the polyhedral wing and replace it with the included sport wing. The sport wing will teach you bank and yank skills and enter you into world of aerobatics and precision flight. Install a 3 cell battery and go from cruising to cutting up the sky with vertical lines and exhilarating speed.
The Tiny Trainer will also get you up to speed with techniques used with all FT designs. Every technique from "A Folds" to Folding wing airfoils will be used in this one build.
This airframe was developed around our Power Pack A electronics kit which is used with the Mighty Mini Series.

I've made 4 of these now and they are very predictable, both in flight and build.
Goes together easy, withstands light wind and reasonable crashes. Not much weight behind it so it is effected by wind a little as expected like all foam planes.
3chan or 4, 2 or 3s lipo, fairly decent flight envelope, easy to learn on easy to fly but not so much that it masks any flight characteristics. A good training tool at a decent price.
I use colored packing tape to dress mine up before I start to fold the foam board and build the plane. Once you get use to the lines, they are easy to decorate and make look really professional.
If you want to learn building and flying basics on a reasonable budget, I suggest you get one.

Flite Test Mighty Mini Tiny Trainer Speed Build Electric Airplane Kit (940mm)
Built this for my son last Christmas. It was a fun trainer, but when we put on the sport wing, it became an all-weather beast! As the go-to plane for my son, it is almost as fast as my EDF and can handle tail slides, 3D and wicked aerials. A beautiful acrobat, a delightful build, and a wonderful first or thirty-first airplane!
