The worst flying "trainer" is the Hobbico Sturdy Birdy.
Yep, I second that. I've got a Sturdy Birdy, at least the duraplane has a tricycle gear...
My SB flys using a OS25LA. It has just enough power, but I'm thinking of an Irvine .39 for it. I would think that a 40 size engine would be too heavy, unless you get a hot .46 to make up for the extra weight.
I got mine as an alternative as I didn't want to risk wrecking my Superstar 60, but having seen it fly, I'll save it for a second plane to practice taildragger handling....
I'm also thinking about getting replacement symetrical wing cores for it......
Would you believe my intructor managed to get it to fly inverted with the standard flat wing and the 25?
