Default RE: The Best Trainer

I have the Ibis from Laser Models. It was the first model I built/flew and although it took me over a year to build (motivation issues) I learned how to fly on it and it continues to be my favorite for sentimental reasons. For a high wing trainer it seemed to impress a lot of the folks at the field with some of the things it does. I put an OS .46FX on it and which may be a little over the top for this plane. I started getting cocky with it and put it in a full throttle dive and the stabilizer snapped. I was able to get it down without destroying it and most of the repairs are done and I hope to fly it again in the next couple of weeks. I think Laser Models is gone now so you might not ever see this one again. Too bad, its a great plane.
