I bought an X-tra Easy 2 for our club trainer...It's got the JR radio in it too...Good airplane, and the engine is the same one as in the Alpha (.455) I ditched the 3 blade prop right away, and put an 11x6 MAS on it, because they're a little more resistant to ground strikes. I also removed the needle limiters, because we flight instructors know how to adjust an engine (we don't need no steenking limiters) I would suggest a more secure way of joining the wing halves tho (I epoxied them together w/ 30 minute) and the main alum. landing gear is quite soft, so it bends easily (not necessarily a bad thing when learning to land tho) There's a few other things I could tell you, are you considering buying one?
