SWATHKSDU,

In response to your question about trainers here's what I suggest you do.

1. Use the search capabilityof this site try keywords like "first plane", Trainer, "best trainer". You will find an entire days worth of reading at least.

2. Find a local club got to the field and maybe a meeting or two. These are the people that will actually teach you the ropes. Listen to what THEY say in regards to plane radio and engine.

3. Go to your local hobby shop price out the recommended gear from number 2 compare this price to mail order don't forget to factor in shipping.

4. After carefully researching buy a plane and go have fun...


P.S. Everybody has their favorite "trainer" but the simple fact is that with a qualified instructor they all will serve there intended purpose which is to teach you to fly. Which trainer you get is MUCH less important then picking the RIGHT instructor.
