HI everyone. Flew a littel bit when I was a kid but now I'm an old 36 year old man that bought a new toy. I love to fly and when I saw the Hanger 9 P-51 trainer at the hobby store in November, I had to buy it! Thank God it snowed here in Minnesota right after I bought it so I didn't attempt to fly the friendly skies on day one. The store manager did tell me, though the P-51 says "trainer" on the package it is by no means a real starter/training aircraft. I have a hundred acre field that I plan on turning into a nice little air field this spring. I actualy got the plane assembled, balanced and adjusted all the servos. I also got her running and made some taxi runs on the future air field before the snow came and I can't wait to fly this thing.......but I'm going to. It really looked like it wanted to get off the ground but I resisted the VERY STRONG URGE to take flight. After some thought I'm going to mothball the 51 for a bit and get another more beginner friendly trainer to get my wings back. I have an electric 51 that I really don't care if I crash and burn and I'm sure I probably will do just that to it. Gas planes are in my future not the electrics. I understand flight and I am not new to planes just rc planes. One thing you have to understand is there are not many instructor options around northern Minnesota so I could be on my own here. It would be nice to have an instructor plugged into my radio for the first 100 flights with the Hanger9 but I might be taking baby steps with lesser craft on my own to get there. I know this isn't going to go over well with you guys and I'm not liking the idea of solo rc flight right of the bat either but lets say you didn't have any other option.

Question: What would be a good trainer both gas and electric? I'm sure there will be many answers.

Suggestions: If I am on my own?????
