Hey everyone...

Is everyone giving up on fixing the trainer? I have put my Alpha in the ground at least three times and broken about 18 inches off the front end 2 separate times, I have pictures if you like. Re-building the plane has given me more experience then anything else. You can buy replacement parts for 40 to 75 dollars and continue to learn. Buying another bigger better plane that you still don't know how to fly could end up being a disaster waiting to happen. I only know from experience. After a year of flying the trainer I just now moved up to a H-9 Twist with a Saito .72 engine. I too used the Realflight G2 system over the winter to get better. Just about anything can be fixed, a little wood and some epox, your good to go and continue to learn before you drop $400.00 and have another crash...Of course this is only an opinion, but one with personnel experience.

Good luck what ever you decide to do. BTW if you're looking to get ride of the left over parts let me know, my 11 year old son is looking for a rebuilder to start on. (engine wood radio servos etc...)
