This is a slightly upgraded version of the FMS Sky Trainer V2. The primary change from the previous model is a new shock absorbing nose gear which is more resilient after hard or off-balance landings. This plane is a favorite because of the awesome scale flaps, bright LED navigation lights, and overall level of detail. In addition, we absolutely love flying this plane when relaxing, scale flight is needed. While the plane offers excellent scale characteristics, it is still capable of non-scale maneuvers such as rolls, loops, and inverted flight. Scale landings and takeoffs look fantastic and are equally enjoyable for the pilot and onlookers. We think everyone should have a Sky Trainer in their hangar. We return to this plane again and again even though we have a huge selection of planes to fly.

If you have a hard surface then takeoffs and landings will be great and nothing needs to be done with the plane. But on grass she bogs down because the wheels are too small so I got rid of all three wheel covers, installed 2-14 inch light wheels for the main gear, removed the nose gear (easy) and formed a new one of the same length but a larger bend to take a 2" wheel and reinstalled. Now she flies off grass and hard surface with ease an still looks classy.
The built in dual Landing light is one of the brightest I've seen along with its navigation lights too. I really love this plane.

I ONLY HAVE TWO COMPLAINTS. The first is the plastic tires for the landing gear (make’s a landing noisy) my plane was to come with floats and it was to be a bind and fly set up but I didn’t get anything except the airplane! SWEET PLANE AT A GREAT PRICE but I didn’t get what I ordered AND CANT GET IT IN TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I KEEP GETTING EMAIL PROBLEMS!!! UNFORTUNATELY MY Beautiful airplane CRASHED ON ITS MAIDEN!?? now I’m waiting on parts to get made so I can buy repair IT and TRY IT AGAIN. I thought this was to be an easy flyer???? ?
In accordance with the attention !!!
