Hi guys ,
Any forum members on here who have made the FT Mighty Mini Commuter (kit package) and can pass on any relevent information , advice or views as to how practical this plane is for a beginner using it as a trainer ? Any advice appreciated

Yes there is.

Also if I remember not many people made that plane.

Any particular reason ? Maybe too short a wingspan for a lot of people ?

No, just there is a ton of other planes out there to make.

The wingspan is all it needs to be by the way.

Did you scratch build or buy it in kit form ?

Scratch built.

I am no expert in RC MODELS OR FLYING BUT AFTER WATCHING THE BUILD VIDEO , IT DID SEEM TO BE A WELLBUILT ROBUST MODEL

It is, and by all means go ahead and build it!

I think it is too small for first timers, and the build is a little more complicated than the Tiny Trainer or Tutor.

Hi , the actual build would not present any problems as Ive made various types of models for many years but I was interested in your comment about it being too small forfirst timers ? could you explain a little more please .

Smaller planes are inherently harder to keep track of and tell orientation.
Imo, you need a Kadet... But yea, you just need to build a plane, and get flying..
Don't overthink or overcomplicate the process.. just build a plane and get out there flying.

Do you think the Commuter would benefit from one of those self stabilising / gyro systems and would it actually fit into the fuselage ?
Thanks

Thanks Matthew

Do FT make a Kadet speed build ?

No, it's a Kadet of my design
