I still take my trainer to the club every time, i love flying my DPS40 and my SPADstick46 but if it's too windy or i need a shake down or i'm trying a new move i break out the Debonair and use it.

we have a competition twice per year where only trainers are eligable and i think every one in the club must still own a trainer of some sort, its a blast, we do climb and glide, slowest pylon races, bomb drop, longest hands off transmitter, most loops in 60 seconds, closest to bulls eye on dead stick landing etc etc, it lets the newbs compete against the old hands and it's a blast i'd highly recomend other clubs give it a go.
