Sure... get a $5 4 1/2 foot span foamie glider and strap a couple of servos, RX and battery on... make the rudder and elevator work... practice some glides. (find where the CG is before making any changes... don't let installing the radio move the CG back from there)

This CAN teach you something. (either that you can figure out how to do a bit of gliding... or that you REALLY need that instructor to show you how to not make the trainer look like the smashed $5 foamie.)

Works better if you have some micro equip... but the "standard" servos, RX and 600 mah battery will have it flying about as fast as the trainer when its on final approach.
