Default RE: Any taildragger trainers?

The 4*60 is easier to fly than my trainer was. Comes as an ARF or kit. I dusted of an old trainer that someone gave me, and tried it a month or so back. Just like my Explorer 40, a bit of cross wind gust caught it as I was taxing to the center line and flipped it on it's back. I've never had the 4* even hint that it wanted to hike up on one wheel.

As for noseing over, the only time I've upended the 4* was when I snagged a wheel in a ground squirl hole just after touching down. Of course that hole would have stopped a jeep dead in it tracks also.
