I started flying RC planes almost three months ago. I found out today that my dad had partially built a large high wing trainer and I would like to complete it. He started this project probably 25-30 years ago. The fuselage and wings are mostly assembled. I have attached pictures of the pieces I have along with the box that the motor came in. My problem is, there are no plans or directions for assembling the plane. My dad passed away six years ago, so we have no idea where the plans could be. Does anyone have a guess what model this plane is? Fuselage length is 62". wingspan is 93" total. Any ideas on where I could get directions on how to complete the plane if I can't google the model for plans? I really want to get it together and in the air. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

It is a Bud Nosen/ AA Industries "Trainer". Fun Flyer......someone will have the plans.

Yeah! Thank you!!

That is very helpful! Thank you! I am pretty intimidated by this project but really want to see it to fruition. My dad would have loved to watch me flying this plane.

I clicked on the above link, then click on the 'build log' tab. Came up with this link:

Don't be intimidated. The model is nearly completed.

I suggest that you purchase the plans, and seek the help of a local builder.

Most builders are usually willing to help a novice, seeking advice.

Good luck with your project. Once completed, you will have a model that is seldom seen at the local flying field.

I would recommend putting that project on the shelf until after you've built a couple/few planes from kits or plans. You will get to a point where finishing out Dad's plane will be easy.
