I agree with John but another good one is the Sr. Telemaster. Like the Kadet it will fly well with a lot of different engines and a .51 would work well in one. The only down side to either one is there size. I must be one of those aileron snobs too, when I teach I always use a plane with ailerons. Funny, I learned on a two channel myself then went to planes with ailerons. Not a big deal but I figure if your going to learn you may as well learn with all 4 channels.
