If you know anyone who fly 's or check you area for a club,skip the trainer's and start with the Great planes supersportster 40 ARF it is easier to fly and lands like a trainer...I had a trainer and a supersporster at the same time .After flying the trainer for a short time I tried the SS it was ALOT easier to fly .....Tower has them for 139.00 and if you buy one now it come's with a 20.00 coupon and with a 46ax it's a great combo...I recovered mine ....JW
