RE: beginer arf trainer
I would recommend the cheapest used trainer you can find, because after about two months you will be board with it and probably never fly it again. I learned on a Hangar 9 Alpha trainer a year ago, it did the job. I flew it for two months then moved on to a Sig Somthin Extra, then a CMP Katana, a Phoenix Sukhoi and currently a DP Edge 540. I just sold my trainer with an extra wing (built with no dihedral) for $50.00.
