Straight to the Field
There is no build time with Ready to Fly (RTF) airplanes.
Within a few hours your aircraft will be ready for its "maiden voyage".
If your interest is in flying and not building or if you need a new
airplane but don't want to spend the last part of the flying season in
your basement, you'll want an RTF.
RTF's are quite complete and can include every component to
get you into the air except for the fuel and the supportive flight box
equipment. This means that completely compatible components will
be selected for you. The engine, the transmitter, the flight pack
and, of course, the airplane are all included. About all you have
to do is charge the transmitter and receiver batteries before you head
to the field. Be sure to follow the engine manufacturer's
recommendations for break-in. You'll even find some engines that
have already been broken in and tuned at the factory. The Hanger 9
Alpha Trainer is one such RTF.
On larger RTF's you may find a minimal amount of assembly is
required such as attaching the landing gear, and the tail assembly.
In these cases, many times the correct adhesives are supplied right in
the box.
