You're probably asking about the Great Planes PT-40 MK II or PT-60. Both kits are available from Tower Hobbies. You may want to check them out at Tower's web site

As far as I know , Great Planes discontinued the Trainer 40's and 60's in the early 90's. They were a good step up from the PT (perfect trainer) 20 ,40 , and 60 series. A lot more aerobatic due to the symetrical airfoil. The PT series all have a flat bottom wing and build with a LOT of dihedral if built according to plans. I would look around at some of the other airplanes in this category as there are many out there that outperform the Trainer series. I think you will find an airplane that you will like much better.
If you're determined to get one , you may try E Bay or call some of the older hobby shops. Personally , with all thats available now , I would opt for something else. I hope this helps you.

Hey snort, I was in the same situation. I had a .60 GP trainer a while ago. When I got back into it I found the Slinger to be a good flying-oriented option, affordable/durable/acrobatic and convenient. I had to log some time on a computer simulator (FMS) before I wasn't crashing it every time out though. I had to replace the wings once ($22).
