Piper J3Cub Classic glow engine trainer
We all know the Piper Cub. Anywhere real pilots are learning to fly at a flying club the Cub can be seen regularly humming over the surrounding countryside. This is a very strong 60" trainer, Unlike most other trainers ...

Kadett LT-40 60" glow engine trainer
This famous high wing model is from the US, where it is one of the most well known trainers ever. Full plans are included. But we would like to especially mention the really excellent documentation that is inside the box. The instruction book is almost an encyclopedia on model plane making, it is so comprehensive. Because of this, Kadett LT-40 is very suitable for someone who has not built in wood before. It is, in effect, a big plane that can be successfully made by a total beginner.

CAT-S DIY 70" Glider Lovely T-Tail Glider
Gliders suit people living near hilly areas so here's a "pure" glider

Why have we picked these particular models to recommend to you? .... Well it happens that the design and wood quality in these particular kits is better than other average kits. When built and in flight this results in a very slow landing speed, which is just right for learners who don't want to have to get the glue out for repairs after a bumpy landing.

Hint on RC Gifts:

SAVE MONEY …A DIY kit takes time to build, so you don't have to buy the Fuelling-up and Engine Start pack immediately, they won't be necessary until AFTER the kit is built J
