Multiplex Mentor - RC Trainer

New RC Trainer from Multiplex. Although not the cheapest it isn't the smallest either with a 65inch wingspan. If you prefer electric flight to IC (nitro fuel / Internal Combustion) then this plane is the one for you. It is the same size of a standard .40 size nitro trainer and therefore very stable, even in heavier weather which is almost unique for a foam plane. To totally kit you out with this plane (if you have totally nothing RC) will cost between £450 to £550. Ready built Mentors are due out May 2009.

@mayrhofer96 : Hello, your English is better than my Austrian. The Mentor is an easy trainer to fly and a good step up from the Easy Star. It can easily take off and land on smooth or rough grass due to it being light in weight for it's size and also has lots of power.

can't stand the loud music.....only watch 30 sec.... nobody will come to see a RC video for the music but some will stop watching because of the music

@sigmet61 - Chill out dude, I usually turn my speakers down.

Hey man, love your flight demo :-) I have the Magister (upgraded to brushless, it zips along quite nicely) and just started flying it this summer, I've just been doing basic flying and using it as drop plane for my RC Skydiver, the only acro I've done with it are loops and didn't push it more because I wasn't sure of it's abilities, but by looking at your video, looks like I should be able to perform the maneuvers you're doing, 'cause there is not much difference between the two, right?

[FrostbiteUK]

The Magister is the same, yes and a nice little flier. There is no reason why you can't be more adventurous with it either, just start your aerobatics at a high altitude so you have chance to save your plane if you get into difficulties. There is plenty of power in my Mentor so that helps to get me out of trouble. Happy landings!

@goneriding11 : No, you have to provide your own controller for this ARTF model.
