Hello All
I want some opinions on what kind of plane to get. I used to fly RC but haven't flown in about 12 years. I was soloing and had transitioned to a sport plane (Ugly Stik) when I quit. My question is whether I should start back out flying a trainer again or go ahead and build a sport plane and start back up where I left off. I will also be teaching my 12 year old son to fly so for that reason I'm leaning towards a trainer. The thing is I don't want to build a trainer (Yes I'm building and not buying an ARF. I enjoy building em as much as flying em) and then be bored after a few weeks because I can't do "sport" type flying if I prove to relearn my skills quickly. Also I don't want to build a sport and end up crashing it because I have lost all my skills and need to relearn them. So would you go back to square one with a trainer or is there a sport/trainer kit anyone knows of I can look at? I want to build a .60 size plane of whichever style I end up going with.

Thanks

Shooter
