Sounds like you are pretty serious about this, and I'd hate to have to crash a couple hundred bucks into the ground. So what trainer would you recommend? I don't know of any brands or anything. All I know of is lanier because thats what I got. And their trainers also require you to buy your own servos and stuff. I still don't know where to get them. Or would a RTF plane be best? I had a cheap electric airplane a while back and I couldn't keep that in the air. That was a few years ago, and that was a little discouraging but it was just cheap one. It was one of those ones you threw to get started, and when i tried to go, the left wing always just dropped and crashed. I thought it was the airplane??? I don't know. So anyway....what would be a good trainer?
