With the Great Planes Tutor, you'll have a feather-light trainer that's stable and slow-flying, but adds the potential to try basic aerobatics when you're ready. It also saves you building time, spending money and flying space. There's no better way to get your wings!

Note: Some models require a 3-channel radio system, but a 4-channel will also work and it's beneficial because the modeler can use it in a wider range of applications with larger aircraft in the future. It depends on whether the modeler plans on using their radio for different uses other than just this airplane. Also please note that some radios come with receiver, crystal and/or servos.
