Cassio,

I agree with Plane Insane. It really depends on what you want. There is no need getting a stick type plane if you really want to move into low wing type plane.

If you want to have flaps or flaperons look into one of the stick type planes. I have the World Models Super Stunts 60, and if you can do basic rolls, loops, land etc..etc.. then you can fly this one. (I firmly believe someone knowledgeable about flight and R/C could use this one as a trainer, but that's just my opinion)

To answer your question the WMSS 60 has flaps, although I modfied them to work just like the H9 Ultra Stick. I use the flaps ALOT!!! With the flaps on, you can take off and go straight vertical in a very short distance (about 2-3 fuselage lengths)..real crowd pleaser. I can also deply the flaps and hover the plane in the air, and bring it in almost straight down. Oh yea, this plane has an 80" WS, so its rather large in the sky for this..

But, this is a slow flyer, might not be what you are looking for.

Also, it would help to know if you are looking for a kit or an ARF.

But do talk to your instructor and see what he says. You might be able to increase the throws on that trainer, change to a faster prop and you have a whole new plane!
