The Alpha 40 Trainer is a Ready-To-Fly (RTF) trainer aircraft designed for the newcomer to the sport of RC. It is also an excellent aircraft for the experienced pilot who wants to keep an easy-to-fly trainer on hand for use when introducing others to the sport, but who doesn’t want to do a lot of building work.
The on-board radio equipment, control linkages, fuel system and the engine are already installed in the nearly completed airframe. The Alpha 40 comes complete with everything needed except the usual field support equipment. The only required field items are an electric starter, glow plug battery and fueling equipment. Hangar 9 details these support items in their instruction manual.
The Alpha 40 Trainer is designed to make it as easy as possible for a newcomer to get in the air with the least amount of effort. I say this because everything is complete including installation of radio equipment, engine, linkages, push rods, hardware and control horns. All the control surfaces are installed, as are the various control horns. The airplane is designed for assembly without requiring glues, extra hardware, etc. Construction is balsa and light plywood covered with UltraCote covering already applied in an attractive color scheme.
