FCAM Club Trainer "Stick 40+"

Our "Stick 40+" was built as a Tail-dragger. This makes take-off a little tricky for students. The Tricycle Gear configuration is much easier to steer and would be a better choice for training .
 
 
 

Select an Engine for your Trainer Model

 
 
Most Trainers will fly well with a .40 or .45 c.i displacement engine. Check what the model manufacture recommends and verify your choice with your Flight Instructor.
  
 
 

Select your Radio System Model

 
 
The Radio equipment you purchase should be one that is compatible with your Flight Instructors "Buddy Box" equipment, if applicable. The second option is the Frequency Channel. Check to see which Channel is not in use by other club members. FCAM Frequency Usage chart. This would eliminate flying conflicts and possible interference.
