I had the Alfa trainer and i think you'll like it... a couple of things to think of before you get in the air with it ...

1. Check the tank for cracks in the seems...I had a crack in mine near the stopper and didn't know until fuel leaked over everything...take the tank out and fill it with fuel to test it...also others have had this problem with the Alfa.

2. Don't count on the needle settings from the factory to work, i had to readjust the highend since they only give you about 20 minutes of play and my engine wouldn't run with the way they had it setup.

when you get used to the plane

3. Use a 2 blade prop...i think i had a 10x7 or 11x7 and it was able to takeoff a little quicker...i had the .40 size engine.

4. Turn it into a taildragger....it is easier to taxi and landings are still nice and easy.....nothing to be scared of
