The FT Explorer is designed like most other training RC planes, but with swappable parts, it can be modified to grow with the pilot.

The FT Explorer carries all the simple lines, features, and characteristics that you will find with many of the most common and successful trainers such as the Hitec Easy Star, the Sky Surfer, and of course, the Hobbyking Bixler series. The difference is that the motor, wings, tail section, and nose can all be swapped, reconfigured, or changed out to allow you to discover the performance changes of a new design. Our hope is that the community will design, learn, and share what they have created, so that others can learn and grow. Just like the Mighty Mini Tiny Trainer, The FT Explorer comes with 2 wings: one for 3 channel flight and a sport wing for faster 4 channel operation. Both the B and C motor packs (c packs need 9x6 propeller) can be used on the FT Explorer to go from a light and slow trainer to a strong performing FPV platform or sport trainer.

    Great plane for my son. We had a crash and need to make some replacement parts. The plans are not here or on the resources part of the forum. Please post the plans!
