The
“forty-” trainer (for a .40 (6.5 cc) glow motor) is still the worldΆs
most popular type of model aircraft. The MENTOR fits neatly into this
class, but there is one major difference: with its modern brushless
electric motor system there are no starting problems, and it is always
quiet and clean! The ailerons are operated by two servos for better
control precision. The robust aluminium “tail-dragger” undercarriage
offers generous ground clearance, making it possible to take off
without difficulty even from imperfect grass runways. The steerable
tailwheel ensures accurate manoeuvring ability on the ground.
MENTOR - the ideal first step in powered flying - with long flight times for effective trainer mode operations, too.
Install
a modern brushless motor and a high-performance LiPo battery, and the
model is capable of towing gliders up to about 3 metres in span. MENTOR
and CULARIS - they make a fantastic team.
