Default RE: Help in choosing a trainer?

Well I finally managed to get myself a plane.

I bought a used plane and equipment from the son (that my dad works with) of a man that pasted away

I think I got a good deal for $450:

I got a Hobbico Superstar (like new condition)
the Futuba 4ch radio
Futuba 7cap and a trainer cord for the radios
electric starter
glow igniter
voltmeter
Hobbico quick field charger
O.S. 46 la
field battery
electric fuel pump
several tools and parts
metal case for the transmitters, and metal case to carry tools, chargers, and loose parts

There is also suppose to be another O.S. 40 engine and maybe another set of servos, but they have not been found yet. Even without that, I still think it is a pretty good deal, I just wish I did not acquire it in the way I did...

I have had it since the end of September, but have not flown it yet since no one is giving instructions till spring; so it's been a lesson in patients so far.
