Magister ARTF- Multiplex
Trainers have been around since the very beginnings of model flying. The so-called .40 trainer (with a 6.5 cc glow motor) is offered in a multitude of variants all over the world. The beginner is expected to cope from the outset with an easily damaged all-wood model and a motor which is not properly set up and not even run-in. It's no surprise that this type of "first model" is often the modeller's last.
Multiplex have adopted a different philosophy: a "ready-made model" moulded in robust, high-strength particle foam, fitted with a geared electric power system. The model is very soon ready for flying, the motor starts at a throw of a switch, and the aircraft's flying characteristics are simply outstanding.
