Tailskid, No I didn't actually see one of the trainer kits. I glanced through the manual and it seems to be adequate for the level of expertise this model is meant for. It may not be up to par for a rank beginner. The hardware in the Moth kit is the best I've seen in any kit ARF or Ubuild it. There was not one wrinkle in the covering that I could find Firewall is allready fuelproofed w/epoxy resin and the control cables for the tail surfaces already installed. The cockpits have removable hatches to access the radio gear. The hinge work is already done for you. The landing gear seems to be some sort of Stainless steel wire that is welded together and is very stout. I really wish I had time to spend on it right now but it's going to have to wait. Another problem I have is storage. I ain't got no place to put it if I put it together. (I know, double negatives, ain't I a bad boy!).
