Thanks for the info guys this has been very helpful. This is what I was thinking of when I was looking at a .60 (Hobbico Hobbistar 60):

Don't know anything about the plane other than it looks like the Avistar. With the kit listed above I would still need to buy servos, receiver, battery, etc. Already have a radio and field equip. I thought about going the used route on a trainer but haven't been able to find anything locally.
