Well the more to think about now the better off I will be in the end when I do make my purchase. And Yeah my corsair requires 5 channels and I was also just looking at transmitters earilier today at the hobby shop. They had a 4 channel transmitter in stock with 4 servos and a reciever for about $175... the 6 channel (not in stock) went for about $200. The way I see it now, I wont be flying my corsair for a while and the trainer package I am looking at will cost me about the same as just the cost of the transmitter... If I was to buy the 6 channel controler... and lets say I got a good deal online for $100, then I would still have to buy the trainer plane. and if it was an ARF, then I would also have to buy an engine and servos... The way I see it, there is just a great cost advantage of just buying this kit and keeping it around for a while, dispite that the parts are not interchangeable with my corsair. When I do move to my corsair, I'll just have to fork up the money to buy a new engine, servos, and transmitter... while still being able to keep my trainer around in case my friends wish to give it a try...

Do you agree?
