The MegaTech Airstrike is a great trrainer. It was my first plane, that I'd had for the past two months. It has survived two major crashes (pilot error), and the M-46 engine (1.47 hp) has proved to be so reliable that I've put it in my new plane, having graduated from my trainer. The beauty of the MeagTech kit is that it is 100% assembled, beyond that of an ARF. And it's a four channel trainer (with ailerons) with Airtronic radio gear (I'm using that in my second plane as well). Dont kick a product until you've tried it. And I love to watch the people in my club tinker with their O.S.'s trying to start them with an electric starter, and one pop of the chicken stick and I'm flying. Great kit.
