Thanks Charlie,

My Stik has the trike landing gear.
I am really unhappy with my chinese built trainer, it was really cheap and the cheap quality shows. The fuselage is skew, the landing gear very flimsy and I already have had a control horn snap and an aileron hinge break. Most of the covering has peeled off and needed to be glued back on. I dont think I want to try and repair the plane, its just not worth it. So I need to decide whether to continue my training on the stik or to purchase another, better quality trainer.
After todays crash I am undecided.
If I were to get another trainer should I go for the Hangar 9 alpha 40? Try with the Stik which I already own? Or is there something better out there.
