Default RE: Trainer Airplane

Is the field where you are going to be flying at a grass field?? If it is, the wheels that come with the Avistar need to be replaced with larger wheels. The plane will be hard to steer and roll over the grass on the smallish wheels as suppllied. If all 3 wheels are the same size then get 3" light weight wheels for all 3. If the nose wheel is 1/4" smaller than the 2 main wheels then get 3" for the mains and 2 3/4" for the nose wheel. For training I suggest you use an 10-5 Master Airscrew prop with that engine. Other than that the combo you have should work well. One thing, don't be setting the dual rates up. Set both the high and the low rate for the correct amount of throw that is listed in the manual. Reason: buddy boxes don't know any thing about dual rates! They simply use only the high rate setting!! Have fun, Fast!
