big trainer
Dynaflite PT-19 is on special right now at Tower, about $120, a heck of a bargain in my book. This model is maybe just a bit beyond the trainer level, but if you have an experienced flyer to help you through the first few flights you will rapidly come to love the way it flies. Bridi Big Bee is also a great gasser. Two great ways to go. I built my Kadet Senior with barndoor ailerons and 2 degrees dihedral, built my Senior Telemaster with ailerons, dual wing servos and zero dihedral. Four great ways to go! Pick one, then go on to another.
