I am new to this hobby and looking to get an ARF kit and start training.

I have already decided on the 9CAP as my radio, but I am stuck on the trainer I want.

I hate the blocky look of most trainers, but I understand the need for a training plane. I think I have found a compromise in the SIG line of aircraft.

I am down to 2 choices, both 40 size and I plan to run O.S. FS-70 Ultimate 4-stroke in the one I choose assuming it fits. The choices are the Sig Kadet Senior 40 or the Sig Rascal 40.

From my research both should be nice as a trainer plane since I do have some basic skills already down, but I was hoping to get some advice from those that have flown these planes. I would love to hear from the old timers on this: is the FS-70 too much engine for the planes, and if so can you suggest another solid performing 4-stroke, is the rascal an easy plane to land since I will be using it as a trainer, etc..?

I am assuming you can see from the kit I am looking to buy that I am not looking to go cheap so if you suggest a different engine or plane base it off of performance and realibility and not off of price please. [sm=biggrin.gif]
