Electrics aren't much cheaper than nitro, and you can easily spend over $150.00 for a park flyer, with no aileron control. I would follow through with Missileman's recommendation. Take the engine and electronics out of the Cherokee and put those in an ARF trainer. A Tower Trainer can be purchased for $70.00, and I'm sure you have the supplies to assemble it. You'll not only build confidence, you'll save a considerable amount of money too.
