I tried flying my Flyzone Cessna Skylane today, with disastrous results (augered into the ground following a failed landing attempt--requires too much speed to stay aloft, and entered a stall/spin.)

I am debating what airplane to buy. I have a receiver, ESC, and radio so DO NOT want to buy a beginner's kit that includes all this stuff... it seems like they all do.

Can anyone suggest a good gas or electric trainer that includes only the plane? Electric might be better for me right now since money is tight, though I want enough power to be able to motor through emergencies so prefer a trainer that allows me to select a motor/battery of my choosing. I like the NexStar gas and electric trainers, but they're selling a whole bunch of stuff I don't need (radio, software) at a very expensive cost. Otherwise fairly nice airplane. I can afford to spend about $150 for a trainer and upgraded high-po brushless motor, tops, as I just blew up my brand new $150 Skylane and do not wish to make the mistake of trying to fix and fly an inherently difficult-to-fly plane that is prone to stall/spin accidents.


Thanks,

Mike
