Multiplex Mentor Airplane Kit 64.2" M214228

This is the radio controlled, electric powered, almost-ready-to-fly, Multiplex Mentor Trainer Airplane. For Beginner to Intermediate Modeler/Fliers 14 Years of Age and Older. The “forty-size” trainer is still one of the most popular types of model aircraft. The MENTOR fits neatly into this class but because it is built with our revolutionary ELAPOR® foam it is much more durable than any balsa and film product on the market. When built with recommended clean and quite brushless motor power pack, the MENTOR is sure to give the beginner or advanced pilot hours of enjoyment without the fear of ending the day with a pile of sticks.
