Hi. i am training my younger brother (aged 10) at the moment. We are using the buddy box etc. he is getting on good at the moment.

The aeroplane we are using is the Frontier 20 (almost ready to fly) which is quick to build (ask your self if the cougar was because its about the same) This plane flys better than any other trainer i have ever flew. i fly an extra 300xs.
i tried every think i could to get a picture of the frontier on the attachment but its too big of a file. But if you really are interested in the frontier and would like pictures and more info i can give you it so dont hesitate (pics and info by e-mail)

*We are using an OS 25FP/FX
*Futaba S148 servos (4) throttle/ailerons/elevator/rudder
*5 Channel FM Futaba Receiver
this setup is very good.

are you woried that it wont take of on ruff grass?well i fly at the kirby feild and you can not get much ruffer than that, the grass is about 5inches high and there are golfers holls all over and also rutts of the motor bikes but with the OS 25FX I can tell you is no problem, it does not need handlaunching its just spot on.

if your mate decides to get this plane tell him that when he has build it he will find the back tail sticks up higher than the nose (its normal) it dosent look it but it is..

any way i hope this has helped you to make the right choice....paddy







here is a bit of info i got for you of the net:

Frontier 20

Catering for everyone, the Frontier 20 is a slightly smaller version of the Frontier 40. The model will fly on a 15 size engine, but may need hand launches on low power. Best suited to a20 or 25 size two stroke the model is available in red or blue at 54 inch wing span it’s still a very stable trainer for smaller engines. Price £89.99

*it sounds like the 40 is better which is another option.

Here is aFrontier 40

Slightly smaller than the Super Stunts, it’s low wing ‘sister model’, being only 64" in wingspan, but a slightly heavier construction make this a rugged primary trainer and the ideal choice for the absolute beginner. Ideally suited to a standard .40 two stroke, the Frontier 40 is extremely stable, even in a stiff breeze and is the choice of several local clubs as their club trainer. It is one of the most popular Model trainers in the U.K. Available in red or blue colour schemes. Price £99.99
