Default RE: Experienced flyer poll

Well, I sort of fit in the none of the above category. I kept my trainer for quite some time, but sold it to someone that crashed his and really couldn't afford a replacement (sold it to him for a very reasonable price. he had his engine and radio so I sold him the aircraft for $20.00).

Anyway, a few months later, I realized that I missed flying it, and really enjoyed going back to basics so I bought a second one, but used it as both a relaxing flyer for me as well as a club trainer. One of those things where we would bring someone in that wasn't sure about joining the hobby and didn't want to spend the money until he/she was sure. So, we would put him/her up on it with the buddy box for a few flights until they decided on if it's what they want to do.. and I must say that we never had someone decide against flying RC. They went out and bought their own.

So, the answer is yes, I still have and still fly a trainer, but not the one I originally had.
