Thanks OZ, I will look into the easystar. I know I must pay my dues on two fronts; learning how to fly by buying a trainer plane then advance to better planes. I will be joining a local club and will have someone train me to fly, even a trainer. In that respect, I am trying to find a plane that I can learn with a trainer and be able to advance with it. I just don't like the idea of buying trainer then packing it away to collect dust. Trying to get the best value for the mighty dollar.

As I read about the trainers, I find that the power is not there like the minimag plus it doesn't have Lipo. Maybe the J3 Piper cub RTF may be best - any thoughts?

Thanks again,
Craig
