One other thing about trainers is fun flys. We have one a year that only trainers are allowed. Trainer races are a blast. Very easy to do. Setup cones at each end of the runway to make an oval track. Take all of the wings off of all of the trainers and run ten laps. Another one is the all up. Sorta like musical chairs with airplanes, everyone takes off and a timer starts and when it runs out, the whistle blows, last one down is eliminated. I would not want to do that with anything but a trainer.

So keep flying the trainer, there are lots of great uses for it after your are ready to move up
