model airplane for instruction?

[Jeanie]

I am starting my training for a CFI and I would like to buy a wooden model airplane that has moveable control surfaces for instruction. I have seen one when I did some aerobatic training so I know they are out there somewhere. Any thoughts on where I can find a source for this kind of teaching aid?
Thanks ya'll

Yep. A google didn't find him, but amazingly I still have the contact in my address book.

Michael Fuenfer, a CFI in Vero Beach had a neighbor who made models with movable control surfaces.


I think Sporty's had them a while back but we bought them from him directly.

Sells the wooden airplane models
Cherokee, High Wing, Twin
Cherokee $25

My CFI is still using the ones I gave him and Bruce has them, too.

I'll PM the contact info. NB: I have no idea if it's still good. This goes back many years now.

Perhaps more pricy than you are looking for, but maybe an inexpensice RC plane?

This one appanretly has 3 axis control:

you can fly it when not using it for instruction.

I haven't bought from any of these- your local hobby store may have something as well.
