Yeah, after talking to some people at the flying fields this all really came together of how to do this. I've been told that if I know I am going to get a second plane already after the trainer I'd be better off getting the ARF version of the Arrow and a decent 6-channel controller instead of getting the RTF Arrow and it's controller. Apparently I will also wind up with better servos going this route. While he was telling me this I was thinking that this also lets me build a plane before the Cloud Dancer, so going this route everything just seems to work out perfectly for what I want to do. I know it will be initially more expensive this way, but it's cheaper than wanting a new controller for the Cloud Dancer which I'm sure I will. I've already looked at the instructions for putting an Arrow together and I can easily do that. So I'll probably understand the Cloud Dancer manual after I've put an Arrow together.

I think I am going to use a 4-stroke engine in the Cloud Dancer and use that plane both as a low wing trainer and to expeirence using a 4-stroke engine all at once.

I really love the 50cc planes. Even just watching those things fly is fun:-)
