GWS E-Starter (fixing up navigation lights)
The GWS E-Starter, a household name among RC flyers. I bought this bird alongside with the GWS Beaver from an owner who decided to quit the hobby. I was told by the ex-owner that he paid someone to assemble these planes. That led me to wonder if it is viable to build planes to make income? Anyhow, it has a simple but effective design. Good for beginners and yet ready for adventurous flying when called upon. Once, I was seduced by it to try for an inverted landing!
The "floaty wings" gave newbies more reaction time for turns and loops. By now, a newer EPO-version of the plane is available. GWS is infamous for kits that require an extensive amount of assembly work. A new pilot with no prior build experience should try building a GWS plane so as to expedite his/her learning, and what better way than to "Start" with an "E"
