Dr1Driver is right.... i am not limited by the space, the only reason i wanted to buy the Eaglet is because a bigger trainer (like the PT-60) is pretty intimidating for a young kid.
My first plane was a PT-60, but i don't have it anymore...i lost it due to a TX battery failure, and i never bought another trainer.
I bought the mid-star 40 for my 2nd plane and i love it, i also have a corsair with a 50sx that i have never flown yet. I think the Mid-Star is too fast for my kid for his first plane.
After reading all your posts...i know you guys are right...the Eagle 2 would be easier to fly for him, and for 40$ more than the Eaglet kit, i can get the Eagle 2 ARF.
I saw a PT-20 last year flying at our field...it was so cute. It was flying around , at low altitude, very slow and it looked pretty stable.
BTW i don't really care about the cost, i just want him to like this hobby as much as i do.
For the remote...ill use my remote until he can fly on his own...and i have lots of spare servos here.
mclina i will post a pic if that day happens :P I think ill buy the G4 flight simulator for him to train during the winter.
I'll take couples of days to think about it.
