Default Seriously, is there an electric trainer?

Seriously, can someone point me toward an affordable electric trainer?

I've been introducing newcomers to flying with my old Senorita, with a .25 in it. It will do anything a SoarStar can do, but for 25 minutes per instruction session.

After introduction, I require the student to provide his own plane and radio (I have buddy boxes for several brands, which we can use.) I have yet to come up with a recommendation for a plane, because I consider the SoarStar only an intro thing. I like to see these guys do loops and rolls before I solo them.

Please reply if you can reply with something besides "Search for this" or "You haven't looked." I have searched, I have looked, and I don't consider my TwinStar or my X250 capable of doing the type of training that the ordinary glow trainer will do.

Seriously,
Dave Olson
