Hangar 9 Xtra Easy 2. It is tougher than the other trainer ARFs I've seen at the field. Solid balsa horizontal stab and fin. The fuselage is sheet balsa and light ply, not stick built. Good landing gear, but you should get someone at your field to drill it out for nylon bolts. It isn't difficult, it is cheap, and it protects the plane from those hard landings you will be giving it. The Evolution .45 trainer engine is the best out there. You can't go wrong with it. My XE2 will take a pounding compared to the other trainers. We have quite a few of those being flown, so it's easy to compare. Plus, it is a good flyer.
