Every body missed the basic point of the post!!!! Jameus was basically asking about the differance between 3 and four channel (ailerons or no ailerons)

Here it is.

There are two schools of thought when discussing 3 or 4 channel. The 3 channel guys will say that because your turns are all controlled by the rudder that it teaches you better rudder useage. Then there are the guys like me (doh[:-]) that think every new pilot should learn to fly 4 channels from teh beginning. This means you don't have to learn something over again later and you learn all basic functions of a 4 channel plane and IMHO makes for a faster learning curve and thus a better transition into more advanced planes.

Also I am of the thought, like many full scale trainning schools, that there is nothing wrong with teaching, learnning on a good low wing plane.

In a high wing trainer there is really no reason to go to the extra work and expense of dual servos. You dont have to get a computer radio to use a duel servo set up just a Y harness as explained. The fact is you will not see an advantage in a high lift, flat bottom, wing with a lot of dihedral as you would in a sport plane. Yoou also would not have a need for flapperons in a trainer as you would in a sport plane.

Keep it simple with the trainer. When you advance and learn then move into better planes you can mess with the other set ups. Right now you need to concentrate on learning to fly.

Are you building a kit or buying an ARF? What do you have in mind for size and power?
