Default RE: Beginner Electric Pattern Airplane

Get a high wing trainer and build the wing flat instead of all the dihedral. It will still be easy to fly, you'll get used to ailerons, and you'll be able to do all the manuevers in basic. Instead of rubber banding it on, use wing bolts. We use to do this with great planes trainer 60's for goofing around. They were fairly aerobatic, yet docile. They also had semetrical airfoils which helped. You could always have someone cut you a foam semetrical wing if you can't find one, don't think great planes sells the trainer series anymore. We also made them into tail draggers. Made good planes.
