Model Aircraft for Instructing

Ive had a good look on the usual sites looking for an Aircraft Model, both a single and multi engine version. Working in a flying school and in need of some updated teaching aids.

Can anybody direct me to the appropriate product or website. Thanks, in anticipation of your assistance.

Cheers. Glen.

Hi Glen i don't have any physical models but i am starting to make a lot of materials for groundschool including lessons for aerodynamics. I am looking for some CFI's to help with content. Maybe we can help each other out.

If you are interested drop me a message.

I guess something along these lines is what you are looking for:



I've seen a number of requests for such models, as the usual sources seem to have dried up. There is a cottage industry opportunity waiting for someone with a laser cutter.

Pooleys still make one but it's very expensive. Over AUS$500.00 plus international shipping etc.

Probably just as cheap to go an buy a radio control aeroplane and use that for demos.
At least they come with props, unlike the Pooleys one.
