I just got through posting In "my first warbird" thread. and now this! Most if not all the info to this point is correct but not detailed enough to really do you much good. much of the info needs the reason why but we can't write novels here.

A cub, cessna, ETC is NOT a good trainer NO matter what the full size or R/Cer's say, this is R/C modeling a whole different world. Trainer model planes are call TRAINERS for a reason, pay attention. a flat bottomed wing is a killer when overpowered. if you don't know what you are doing.

if you think you can do better than the designer you would not be called a beginner.

The truth be told if you want to become a proficient R/C pilot start with one of these..... Sig Kadet, Goldberg eagle 63, avistar. not cool? well cool kills fools and beginners alike, and you will be overwhelmed by these true trainers at first anyway.
I have been doing this since the 1940's and still keep a trainer in my hanger. Yes the trainers can do most all the manuvers. a word to the wise!
