RE: Looking for advice in choosing my first Trainer
On the radio, either get a basic 4 channel which can last you for a couple of years or jump in and get a 6 channel puter radio. Pros on 6 channel, more options and programming available. Model memory settings available. Cons: Extra features such as dual rates can't be used with the buddy box and you probably won't need the 2 extra channels for quite a while. By then the new puter radios will be cheaper than this years models, have more features and be easier to program. Also the 2 extra channels won't be needed for a while but don't hurt and the 6 channel radios are built a bit better. The engine kangaroo suggests is fine or an OS 46AX is also an awesome engine. For fuel you are going to go through a lot of it while training so just get 10% nitro for now. Cheaper, more than enough power for a trainer, and works with most engines. Higher nitro content than 10% can cause overheating of some engines. Hope this helps. [8D]
