Tuff Trainer

In this episode the guys review Josh Scott's plane, the Tuff Trainer. Josh S. has had this plane at his disposal for about a week, in which he got some practice time in. Josh Bixler was in the unusual role of support, instead of lead for this review. Josh Scott showed that he learned quite a bit about the plane while he had it in his possession, and demonstrates this while explaining some of the plusses and minus of this aircraft. The review was followed by Josh S putting the plane into the air, and returning it, for the most part, safely to the ground. A crooked mustache makes for an easy fix.

This is an awesome trainer!! On one flight we lost the battery (fell out and came unplugged). That was my fault. But the plane just circled in the wind and landed unharmed a half mile away in a parking lot on its wheels and there was a crowd gathered around when we found it. They said they just watched it circle around and land. I think they thought the little monkey strapped to the top (my son did that) might have flown it..... HAHA Then we went back to our field and my son soloed it for the first time ever soloing an rc plane. it was his 2nd flight EVER!! On one occasion he was going straight down and jerked the elevator full up. The wings folded to about 90% then relaxed and he kept on flying. NO DAMAGE..... Great Plane.

HK has made some improvements since your review. They've added some plastic bits to the leading and trailing edges of the wing where the rubber bands sit, eliminating the flex that you noted. They also added a battery door on the bottom of the fusialge so you don't need to remove the wing (or cut out the window) to swap the battery. But the biggest change is that it's now a 4ch model with ailerons! If it was a good trainer when you reviewed it, it's a GREAT one now. Images of the changes below.
