This work was supposed to be easy and simple to build, as it was also known as a coach for beginners or beginners in the F.B.C.G. contest, but it is not quite like that, the plans have many incongruities, imperfections, doubts and some errors, giving the also these plans were drawn by beginners. The photograph accompanying the plan also has some discrepancies.
