Well, I haven't given up on my trainer at all. In fact I agree with all of you that I still need more time on my trainer. I still enjoy flying it, and I now know I need more practice with it as well. I've put the Cub away and plan on not flying it until I have a lot more experience. I love building too, in some ways more than flying. I'm planning on getting the kit version vice the ARF. In fact both my LT-40 and Cub were kits. Some of the more experienced pilots at my club suggested the 4Star as a good second plane, and would be easier to handle than the Cub. If I do get the .40 I will probably put a .46 engine in it.
