Aerodrome PT-17 Trainer Built during the summer of 2010..........


I obtained a Aerodrome PT-17 Trainer kit for something to do during the hot summer months here in Florida when it's to hot to fly. I finished it in two and a half months. It was a fun kit to build and turned out to be a beautiful plane. Unfortunately it's a bit too big and heavy to fly where I fly at which is usually vacant lots where there is no runway and my planes have to be hand launched.

It has a 48" wing span and weighs in at a little over 4 pounds. It's equpit with the following:

Turnigy 3542-1000 outrunner
Hyperion 80amp esc with external 10amp BEC
4 SG90 metal geared servos
12X6 Prop
Flightmax 3s 30c 2650mah lipo.

It's covered in yellow Solarfilm. Build log is located here: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1247073
