RE: what to get??
I like big trainers:
LT-40 is about the same physical size as many .60 trainers and is widely considered "the best"
In the .60 size category I have had:
Hobbico Hobbistar 60 ARF
Global Right Flyer 60H ARF
Great Planes PT-60 (kit)
They're all good. All 3 had a TT 61 Pro and pretty much the same electronics that you mentioned.
If I were getting a trainer ARF today I would choose between the well known models based on looks and price.
