FT Tutor MKR2
RC Airplane Build Kit
The FT Tutor is a classic RC plane trainer made with Maker Foam V.2, designed for adaptability from 3 to 4 channels. Taildragger, tricycle, or float-ready.
FT Tutor MKR2
The FT Tutor can be built as a 3-channel (combined with our power pack B) to enjoy easy relaxing flights. You can also add ailerons for basic aerobatics and the increased control that a 4-channel set up can give. The configuration can be set up as a taildragger, tricycle gear or even FT Simple Cub floats. If you want to turn things up to the extreme, add in the power pack C and the Turbo Tutor wing kit for insane aerobatics and 3D maneuvers.

Turbo Tutor
Fantastic building airplane!!! I built mine with the standard wing, 4 ch, c-motor with a 10x4.5 APC prop and the 4.3” bush wheels. The ready to fly weight with paint and a 2200 mAh 3s battery came out to 1057g (37.28 oz).
There are very few changes needed to this airplane but a couple I wanted: a rubber band from each axle behind the wheel stretched to the opposite fuselage side will stiffen up the gear and reduces the gear from bending out of shape under the aircraft weight. I made a cooling vent scoop just before the gear mount bulkhead to aid in the esc cooling. Make sure to completely prep the white foamboard if you want paint to stick!!!!
Lovely airplane and a true credit to Flite Test and the rest of the FT Family!!
