AEAJR,
I have refrained from voicing my differing opinion over your constant "selling" of the Aerobird as a GREAT trainer. It has been obvious that you've had a terrific experience with your's, and you have posted significant information for that genre of airplane.
However, there truly is NO comparison between the airplanes you have flown to date, and glow powered aircraft.
I'll clarify that statement by asking if your Electrajet has a brushless motor. If it does, it becomes comparable to some of the sport glow powered planes. If it does not, it won't quite compare to a 40 size glow trainer in performance.
I am happy that you are satisfied with the stuff you fly. You are a great RC advocate, and your enthusiasm shows in the majority of your posts. But I also MUST concur with Crashem regarding the 27 mHZ planes falling into the "toy" category, simply due to the radio equipment and limited flight capabilities.
That being said, all of our RC stuff can be (and often are) described as toys by someone. I just find the 27 mHZ stuff to be more "toyish".
Peace,
Dennis-
