I've only been flying rc for about 2 months now, so I know what you think you are up against.

The first person I met at our flying club offered to buddy box with me on his trainer. Maybe you can find someone like that too. You will certainly find good advice and help. There are a number of trainer ARFs on the market with varying options. Used trainers are a great source for getting started. I'm close to being done with my trainer and I will probably fix everything on it and see if someone needs it one day. I may loan it out if needed. Mine is a second hand Xtra Easy 2.

BTW, all trainers take beatings. Don't expect your trainer to always look brand new. They are trainers, and that means a certain amount of punishment from us new guys as we learn.


Good luck.
