Default Need advice for a beginner friend of mine?

A friend of mine who lives down the street has been wanting to learn to fly for a couple of years now. He always stops to say hello and we talk planes,,,anyhow, last night, he knocks on my door and asks me to look some R/C equipment over. He was being offered a TT.61GP, Hobbico field box, 12v starter, power panel, glow plug wrench, plug igniter, 12v 7amp battery, ball screw drivers and more. The engine looked practically brand new. All this for $100. I told him to jump on it, or I would.

My question is, I started out in electrics so my transition to glow didn't involve trainers. I started with a 4*60. I have flown a friend's Sig Senior Kadet and a Hobbico avistar. I told him the .61 was probably too big for the Avistar and probably good for the Kadet, but the Kadet was more than he wanted to spend. Any suggestions for a trainer that can take a .61 2 stroke.

thanks,
