We have updated the T52 and made a few changes.
NOTE: The wing span is now 48" -- she flies even better than before and the doublers have been improved and strengthened. The T52 is still one of the best trainers in the world and will delight those who fly it.

This version was covered in our blue and yellow packing tape then monokote "windows" were applied with trim solvent. Automotive pin strip was used for the red lines. This plane flies very nice on a stock control line COX .049 |
| Our T52 is by far our best selling plane. And from what you are telling us, it sounds like the T52 is ushering a great many folks into the radio control hobby in a very painless way. | ![]() |

The latest of our personal T52 stock. This one is covered in our red, white, and blue tape and powered by a 200 size little electric motor and gearbox setup. It is very light and will thermal as long as there is lift to be found. |
| This T52 is powered by Norvel. The 061 engine is a very powerful little engine for this plane and will allow the use of standard servos for the rudder and elevator. We would suggest a micro servo such as the FMA S80 for the throttle. | ![]() |

For relaxing flying or teaching yourself or someone else to fly, this is is the plane! Solid pink foam and tape construction make this about as durable as you can get. The kit consists of the fuselage, wings, coro-plast fuse doublers and tail group, and hardware kit complete with a roll of colored tape. It is quick to build (about 4 hrs - if you have experience with foamie construction) and designed to handle the stress of a new pilot. The T-52 has a 52" wing span and weighs about 25oz with standard size radio gear and Norvel power hooked up to our Slickmount. We recommend using mini gear when flying with .049 or speed 400 electric. All of our foamie kits are designed around our Slickmount. You could install your own tank and engine if you want----but it's much easier with our mount! I have included a complete set of building instructions and step by step building pictures of the T-52, if you care to see them. They include lots of pictures and might take some time to download but if you want to see how we build this type of plane, it would be interesting to you. List of recommended parts to finish the kit - click here.
We have a customer that has really enjoyed our planes. So much so that he made a construction video of the T52 that includes some very good tips on building and flying. I understand that he is also building them on a contract basis for those of you who would rather fly than build. Buzzman is the the man to see and you can find his web at: http://www.angelfire.com/al2/buzzman/t52_video.html
