The fact is that a good trainer doesn't HAVE to be "like the typical .40 glow trainer".

The fact is that a good trainer doesn't HAVE to have 4- channels, which is so hard to learn on that it requires an instructor with a buddy cord.

The fact is that there's nothing wrong with a beginner going through more than one plane, each with progressively agressive flight characteristics, as his skills improve.

The fact is that except for the axle rolls in #5, the 4-channel requirement in #8, and the insistance (over and over and over) that it be "like the typical .40 glow trainer", I don't see why a lowly Wingo couldn't satisify all the requirements (1 thru 11) in the above post.

If you like glow, like clubs, and think .40-size trainers are the only thing you can learn to fly on, then great. (Contrary to popular belief, I'm not against glow.)

However, if you don't, thank goodness we electric people have some alternatives!
