Default RE: Ready for aileron trainer. E-starter?

Check out the sky scooter pro II. It's only a 3 channel set up, ailerons, elevator, throttle. I fly mine in 10 to 15 mph winds frequently. Up around 20 mph it can become a hand full if you don't have a large field to land in. There is a BIG thread on the sky scooter in the 'Park flyers' section. At least one fellow has added a rudder to his scooter with sucsess. I don't think there's a better value in a ARF foamy electric plane. Approx. $140.00 to $160.00. I've had the opportunity to throw 4 scooters into the air for their maiden flights and except for the first one, my first ever attempt at flying, they all flew great right out of the box. The electronics are compatible with standard off the shelf stuff, so when you out grow the scooter, you can use the servos etc. on something else. I'm using my first scooters stuff in a flying wing and it's working great. It's also very repairable. Two nights ago my brother-in-law got disorienetd and stuck his into the deck hard. Broke the fuselage in three places. In less that an hour she was back in the air and flying great. Very resiliant airplane. After you get the hang of flying it, increase the throws on the control surfaces and it becomes very aerobatic. Loops, rolls, inverted flight, stalls, just the best fun you can get for $150.00.
