Description

The Fun-Start Mk2 is the ultimate slope basic trainer, easy to build, easy to fly, easy on the pocket yet very tough and robust. Several hundred of the original Fun-Starts have been built and a number are used or recommended as club trainers. The Mk2 features a slightly slimmer plywood core fuselage that is clad in EPP (expanded polypropylene) and covered in cross weave filament tape, the normal base covering for EPP models. The wing has sturdy plywood mainspars with trailing edge stiffening and is held on with rubber bands to allow the wing to move should it hit an obstacle on landing.

Based on the our well known and much loved Ab Initio the Fun-Start is the ideal model for all those wanting to learn to fly, particularly the very young and the the more senior amongst us. After initial trimming flights and a few basic lessons most 'ab initio' pilots should be able to fly without 'close' supervision except for landing and launching. The Fun-Start will fly in most winds and is capable of all the usual rudder elevator aerbatics including barrel rolls etc.
