Park Flyers

BLT - Basic Light Trainer
Basic Light Trainer image
This trainer's built-up balsa construction and stik-style fuselage holds airframe weight to an amazing 2.4 oz. A modified Clark-Y airfoil makes it steady, slow-flying, self-righting...and just right for first-time pilots!

Tutor Trainer

A second plane with the style and looks of full-size planes. Offers a Clark-Y airfoil for comforting stability, plus the option to build in ailerons for more maneuverability.

A fully symmetrical wing, plus oversized elevators and ailerons, give the Fundango the zip and agility that seasoned pilots need for aerobatics. A fiberglass boom fuselage simplifies building and streamlines flight.

Easy to build, easy to fly - and easy to fly almost anywhere!

For the simple fun of flying, nothing beats a Great Planes Park Flyer. Simple designs cut building time by weeks. Reliance on ultralight materials enables Park Flyers to rival the performance of full-size R/C planes while enjoying the built-in advantages (no mess, easy pre-flight prep and low noise) of today's leading electric technologies. Add in their compact size, and Park Flyers stand apart as the ideal way to enjoy "grab n' go" R/C flying fun almost anywhere, at a fraction of the time, committment and space of larger kits.

  • Quick to build and cover - a one-day job for experienced builders, a weekend project for beginners.
  • Strong enough to withstand less-than-perfect landings, yet so light that all-up weight barely reaches one pound!
  • Easy to transport - plane and gear fit easily in a back seat.
  • Small enough to fly in almost any open space near your home: football fields, parks, school gymnasiums or even a back yard!
  • Capable of incredible slow-speed flight, to give first-time pilots maximum reaction time.
Always check with your local R/C club before flying. Signals from your system could interfere with other R/C modelers in the area. Contact the Academy of Model Aeronautics for a club near you.
