Second that. Piano keys 4" wide are nice. A strip of similar size on top close to the wing tips helps detect banking. The Apprentice is my favorite electric trainer but I would ask you to consider a Sig LT 40 Kadet, it has a 72 inch wing span and can still "get little" in a HURRY!
Thank you for your response, Ozmo. Loopdeeloop suggested using self-adhesive trim strips. That sounds good to me. Experimenting with his wingtip to fuselage configuration plus your “piano keys” near the wing tips. Do happen to have a photo you could upload or point me to?

I just read a write-up in the Sig LT 40 Kadet. I like the lighter wing loading and the slower speeds but I think I better stick with a more manageable 60 inch electric RTF foamy, at least for this go around.

Thanks again,
Trish.
