J PERKINS Navigator Trainer / 3S Electric (KIT) 1.5m / 59in

Trainers that have longevity and a life after training are not to be sniffed at. Whilst few would argue that the best machines are gentle, sedate and forgiving, aeroplanes that are also able to offer a basic aerobatic capability are considered even more desirable. Spanning 1500mm for a 3S powertrain, the Navigator ticks all the crucial boxes that beginners need to consider, not least speed of assembly, ease of transport and the aforementioned follow-on flying characteristics.

With beautifully pre-built and covered airframe components, final assembly can be measured in hours rather than days. Meanwhile, banded wings not only assist storage and transportation, they’re designed to ‘give’ a little when inevitable arrivals occur during the learning process. Speaking of which, the Navigator’s classic trike undercarriage affords a high tailplane position and yet more damage resistance. Where flying is concerned, piloting this aeroplane is a gentle affair that engenders a relaxed atmosphere, one that will see your ability and confidence grow exponentially.

Suitable for small-field flying, beginners of every kind and even old hands who want something relaxing yet mildly aerobatic to campaign on calm days, the DPR Navigator is perfect.
