Great Planes Tutor
This is a plane that I built at an Aeronautical Engineering Camp at NC State University in June of 04. It was my first Balsa RC model, and first time covering. And frankly, after being used to GWS, I hated it. Too much work and after a crash it required too much effort to fix. Plus, I just hate the airplane. Its way underpowered (but flys) stock by the 280 motor and Econocote warped my control surfaces. So, after I flew it at the camp demo and wowed everybody since I was the only one with flying experience, I brought it home to MD and retired it to my ceiling. I named it "Squirt" after my little sister.
