Hello again.

I just thought I would mention two other ARF trainers that we have had good success with.

The World Models Skyraider Mach 1 flies really well. It is really nice to fly, is quite light so it will fly slowly but it is not very crash worthy. I bought one years ago and put an OS LA 46 in it. I rarely got to fly it because the club president used to borrow it to teach on. More recently I bought another one and put a Saito 62 in it. It was a brilliant (if expensive) combination. I sold it recently with a Super Tigre 51 in it and it was very nice to fly. Sadly the new owner forgot to pull the antenna on the radio up and ..... THUD.

Unfortunately, I think the Skyraider has been deleted but there are probably some out there. They really do fly well and they are not too small.

The other is a Phoenix trainer sold here as the Boomerang 60. It has a flat bottomed wing, is quite large but is not all that light so it needs to fly at moderate speeds. It does fly well. I am sure it is sold in the USA under some other name. They will fly with an OS AX 46 but are much better with a 60 or even a 75.

Have fun choosing.
