Another noob pilot here...

Got my hands on a Sig Midstar .40 with engine and electronics and got a radio from a friend at work. I've been asking around and consensus seems to be that I should start with a trainer and not the Midstar. After playing with Realflight G3 at the hobby shop, I tend to agree... Only problem is, between school and bills, money is about as tight as it can get now. I was hoping I could start with the Midstar, but there's no point if I'm going to make toothpicks out of it my first time out. So, if anybody has a trainer airframe in decent or repairable condition, I could really use it. I've already got the engine, radio, etc.. out of the Midstar that I could stick in there.

Thanks again. This is a wonderful idea you've got going here and I hope to be able to contribute.
