3. There are no good electric trainers. It's a proven fact that many pilots who have "mastered" their GWS Tiger Moths and Slow Sticks lack the skills necessary to fly anything more advanced. Go to http://www.ezonemag.com and look up all the trouble with the GWS Zero and P-51. The plane's design is not the issue in most cases, the pilot skill is. I personally know people who only fly slow fliers. The one time one of these guys got ahold of a glow trainer, he flew it knife-edge through the pits, almost re-kitting ME, because he couldn't handle it."

This is the attitude I've witnessed at the local fields. Most of the glow pilots there aren't familiar with electrics. To say there no good electric trainers is completely false. Lots of 4 channel well behaved electrics that can make you just as good as a pilot as a glow trainer. But if you're looking for instruction and someone to teach you at a field you're pretty much stuck with glow. The fields around here don't even allow electrics to fly.
