Trainer 40

[GuyOReilly]

Just started construction of a Trainer 40.
Downloaded the instruction manual from OuterZone : https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=12744
This should be a fun and quick build. 
There is no electric conversion instructions, so I will just wing-it. 
The plans include a top hatch already and a fuel tank bottom that will serve as the battery floor.
As for power, I was thinking a Eflite 25, but that may be a bit marginal, so probably will go for a 45.

I think a 25 or a 32 on 4S would be more than adequate.

Section A, steps 1 through 9 completed, the tail section is ready for covering.
The wing construction starts soon, but first I need to enlarge the holes in the ribs to fit servo leads and extensions.
@Michael I agree that a 25 or 30 size motor might be adequate on 3 cells.

Dry fitting the ribs.
The quality of this kit is impressive.
The spars and leading and the trailing edges are notched for a tight fit.
Only complaint so far is the inconsistent balsa density ranging from ultra light and flimsy (the trailing edge spar) to super hard and heavy (one sire of the elevator).
Enjoying the build process.

Wings well underway; however, they will be completed end of May.

I am impressed with the labelling of this Great Plane kit.
So easy to identify the parts.
