Designers of American companies DUMAS Aircraft is the ideal machine for modelers who already has at least basic experience in building small models powered by rubber (as a general model for the acquisition of basic experience with classical building is recommended to first build eg. One of the cabin wing aircraft from Guillow's or HERR) . You will improve in the building "žbrdličkové" skeleton of the fuselage and wings, paper coating and painting, preparation and curing the rubber volume zalétávání - just all those wonderful skills genuine classic modelařiny. While the building is not much they expect hundreds of hours in the workshop, thanks to a highly preprocessed laser-carved parts it goes like clockwork.

Designers freely flying semiscales American trainer and aerobatic aircraft designed to drive by rubber. The model is simple but classic balsa structure in Rozsyp with laser carved wooden parts, scale accessories made of vacuum-molded plastic parts and plastic drawn by injection molding. The hull is constructed normal minimaketářskou technology - the first of balsa wood strips assembling the sides, which connect polopřepážkami and bars in the lattice frame. The final round shapes get after sticking a large number of thin stringers. The wings are the classic design of the spars and ribs, tail out of balsa wood strips and laser-carved parts.

The PT-17 is also suitable for conversion to a miniature RC model with electric drive - although the construction plan does not offer this option for experienced modelers and the pilot would not be a big problem. For example, you can try to use the drive unit, and cabin electronics of miniature foam models Nine Eagles.
