If you are going to go with a glow engine for training on your own I would suggest a US AirCore trainer. The plane is heavy but extremly tough. Its made of what looks like cardboard dipped in wax. I would not suggest you go with the 60 size trainer thay you were looking at. They are heavier than 40 size and will need to land a bit faster. If you don't like the Aircore, at least go with a lighter 40 size trainer.
