You could also look into a Sig LT-40. The beauty of this plane (besides being big and rugged) is that everything is included except glue and covering (and radio and engine, of course). Not sure if the other trainers include all that hardware or not. Adding all the external hardware can add a lot of additional cost to the kit.

If you do go with a LT-40, there are two mods you might want to think about... the first is to put some triangle stock on either side of the fin to reinforce it.

The other thing is to use the Dubro #789 Dural landing gear (and #247 axels) instead of the wire gear included in the kit. It's a little more rugged for those less-than-perfect landings...

Just my $.02
