Trainer plane without engine glide?
I am wondering if it is possible to glide a trainer plane like a glider without installing the engine first.
I have a Millenium2000 trainer from OK models... got the cg right by shifting the battery and receiver. any advice would be appreciated. |

Sure it's possible, but flights will be short, except perhaps on a slope in a howling gale. I wouldn't recommend it as a form of enjoyment.

Hi
To fly a trainer as glider without engine you would have to ballast the front with the weight of the engine to get the cg right. A shaped foam nosecone would help to. simon |

Welcome simhatus!! Glad you posted! Newbie one if you are thinking of doing that, just get a cheap hand launch glider... Just curious, why are you planning to try this??
