johnstoninia, We haven't really answered your question of why you can't seem to find a new ready to fly .40/.60 trainer for purchase. Simple answer is "market trends". Ten years ago there were multiple good RTF 40/60 trainers available from both Tower Hobbies and Horizon Hobby (the two big mass marketers in this hobby) but with the surge toward electric power, sales of the RTF glo dropped off enough that I don't think either currently has any available. This is a very "trendy" hobby and stuff comes and goes sometimes quite quickly. I have seen many planes that I wanted to have but waited too long to get my dollars together and then they were discontinued and I missed the boat. Sometimes planes come back and trends reverse but right now I don't know of a quality, or even crappy plane for that matter, that is a RTF 40/60 glo trainer. You gotta piece together the package yourself. That's just the way it is right now.
