Jerry, what a dirty trick, but I like it!!! After the solo I just let the student use my TX and trainer to use to get more stick time before they start asking about getting there own plane. So far only one trainer has been lost in a crash and it was my fault. The student had soloed but he really wasn't ready to be turned loose yet. My bad. I have never mentioned an electric when being asked about the different choices but from now on I will show them a few of the good ones. None of them will be a foamy though and none will be a toy plane. I have seen a few of the electric sticks that I think would be a good choice, all of them a standard 40 size with ailerons like the trainer they learned on, just a different power source. If they want a small electric then it's fine with me, I enjoy flying them too.
