im not familliar with the cessna but my thinking is this is not a trainer!!,id forget it and buy a trainer plane .im guessing this is an electric model?,if so id get the e starter from gws you can use the gear out of the cessna in it!!.just buy the plane and motor theyre very inexpensive and exellent fliers even if you intend teaching yourself.take a look at one and read some reviews on it .also look in the electric forum on here!!.good luck!!
