I have many request for releasing a simple RC plane plans for beginners, so I decided to designed one. This plane is designed specifically for beginners that still learn how to fly an RC plane and to familirized the orientation. Beginner tends to broke front propeller so I put the prop on the back. Beginners tend to have slow reflex after taking off so I made the wing with big amount of dihedral angle, about 8 degree. So the plane will autolevel by itself. Taking off is also pretty easy just push the throttle it will take off by itself without touching elevator or rudder sticks. It also easy to build only uses 2 servos (3 channels) and very robust construction if it built right. It crashed on maiden but it can stand the test and survived.
