Thanks for the good words of encouragement, LittleFolk. I had read that the Sport-Air 40 is a good low wing trainer so I picked it up for the transition. Unfortunately we don't have a trainer cord, but when I go to Vegas this next week it is on my wish list, the one good thing is I have 2 Futaba radios and he has one that matches one of mine so he is comfortable with the sticks, and they will be compatible. We have just been using the "OH CRAP !!! I'm in trouble-grab the box" method of training, but I never got in a bad situation since I'm overly cautious. No loops or rolls even until I had flown solo for about 3 weekends.
