Default ARF trainer Options



Just found out my Grand daughter is going to come out to Grampa Don's Aviation camp in a couple weeks. Ineed a trainer for her. My Sig Senorita is not something I want her to start with although it goes up and comes down with some regularity. Any thing other than poking holes in the sky though is a real challenge. I managed to to a roll once, but was never able to repeat it. Though I was going to run out of fuel before it made the roll. If I could get a 4* 40 or 60 ARF, that would be my first choice. I think they are as good a a "trainer' for a beginner. And I could have fun with it after she goes home.

Here is what I'm looking for. An available ARF, screw on wing, preferably individual aileron servos, but I can take care of that if needed.40 size or larger. A tail dragger would be my first choice, but a trike is OK. One that will not struggle through a roll or loop. Engine size is open, I've got them covered from a 40 2 stroke 62cc gasser.

Suggestions please.
