My brother has been flying for years and he helped me get started by putting together a wish list for me to get started. He's been using the Kavan for years with no trouble. I put an OS 46FX in my SIG trainer and it turns it over like a dream. I have been harrassed by the some of the club members for having a wimpy looking little starter though
Being a rookie this is the only starter I've had, tried some of the other guys and they seem to be pretty bulky and have no more drive then the Kavan.
