Just curious as to why people are telling someone to get an ARF trainer when he already has a good trainer? With a good instructor, he can fly a build up trainer, and if he crashes it at some point, it will probably hold together more than a trainer.

The pictures of the plane you built look great. Looks like you are doing a good job. Get with an instructor, have it all checked out so it is set up right, and go have a ball. I wouldn't waste the time or the money on an ARF.

Just my 2 cents.
