RE: Intermediate plane/trainer
As many above have already said .. Sticks .. i have a couple of .40 size sticks with HB .61's on them .. even though i have "better" aircraft , i still fly at least one of the sticks every time i go .
if you can pony up the extra cash do go with the 60 size stick as it seems to be even easier to fly .
the kits are fun and easy to build as well.
Good Luck !
