i did not say that small models are not good for training. in fact i am going for a small model.
Encan,
I think you misunderstood my answer. Small models are not better for learning on in fact most people believe that Bigger models make better trainers for some of the following reasons
Easier to See
Have a more stable feel
Able to handle wind better
What I was commenting on were your requirements for a model to learn on. They seem to be in conflict.
BTW check Herr Manufacturing they make small models for the norvel line of glow engines.
