HorizonRC.Com Preview: E-flite's t-34 Mentor ePTS
E-flite's new T-34 Mentor has really been something of interest to us through the design and development of the airplane. Many new RC pilots will be thinking strongly about the prospect of an electric powered basic training model that really looks like a full size airplane, something that has not really been available. The scale airplane appearance is a big step forward in learn-to-fly models. Another big feature for beginning modelers is the "everything-in-one box" concept. You get the best equipment with this model and that means your equipment will support your future endeavors in the hobby not just this airplane.
We had the opportunity to visit with John Redman who is E-flite's primary product developer on the T-34 Mentor project. Get the real first hand information about the design ideas, specifications and performance of this airplane.

I have an AC to DC adapter with an output of 12 volts and 3.25 amps. It also says that it is a class 2 power supply. Would this be compatible with the charger supplied with the T-34 Mentor?

You could probably convert it, but in all honesty you would be better off going with a Hangar 9 T-34 Mentor, HAN4325, if you're looking for a Glow-powered T-34.
Can the T-34 be …
Can the T-34 be converted to a small i/c engine??
No arguement on the …
No arguement on the quality of the Supercub at all. That is an excellent plane to teach-yourself-to-fly with. If however you're looking for something that is balsa instead of foam, better performance potential, better radio, etc and you find having a trainer desireable, the ePTS is perfect for you.
I would still …
I would still recommend the HOBBYZONE SUPERCUB to learn with. $150.00 No need to join a club and pay them, having to ask permission to fly, wait for them to get ready to order one time a year and you want to fly this weekend.
hi yea in australia …
it will be my first rc plane but im NOT gonna try to fly by myself lol
hi yea in australia it costs $398 and by the look of it it looks really worth it
If you price it out …
If you price it out it's an exceptional value actually:
DX6i- $179.99
40-amp ESC- $74.99
3200mAh 3-Cell LiPo Battery- $99.99
Power 25 Outrunner Motor- $84.99
Just the price of those items combined is $440 roughly. And you still don't have a professionally assembled and trimmed plane, servos, charger, etc. The ePTS includes all those items listed and more.
