RE: Protege 60
I bought one based on MinnFlyer's review and recommendation. It is one fine aircraft. With it, your cousin will have the best of both worlds. It is very smooth and handles very nicely, like a trainer, but it is also very capable and can do an awful lot that trainers cannot do very well.
If you are going to be the instructor, then fly it once and I assure you, you will be hooked on it as a very good intermediate trainer. Minnflyer is right. It IS a dream. I love mine.
Take a look at his review and video's. I'm sure you will be impressed. He used an OS 55 AX in his review plane. I was unable to get the .55 at the time, it was out of stock and none were due in for month or so, but he had an OS .75 AX in stock, so that's what I put in. All I can say is WOW!! It was a nice combination with the .55 but I love mine with the .75.
