The GP-PT-40 trainer kit is a great model airplane for beginners just learning to fly and build.

It requires building DON'T worry, it comes with the following:

- Photo-illustrated instruction manual.

- Assembly hardware included.

- wingspan - 60 inches

- fuselage length - 52 inches

requires - 2 stroke .40 - .46 cubic inch engine

I enjoyed building and flying this model, just follow the manual. It flew very smooth and slowly, the way trainers are supposed to fly.
