Hi... I started flying 2 years ago in Norway... whitout knowing anything about airplanes.... i started to think what airplane do i want in 1 year...
so I started to think on model nr 3 before even flying... I found out what engine it required, servo, reciver etc..... then I found a good nr 2 model. (giant super sportster) that could take the same engine, servo reciver etc... and then I found my trainer a world model super frontier senior... it looked like ****
bu it was BIG. and big flyes better... and since I already knew that I would crash it and then have a lot of nice equipemt ready for the nr 2 model I let my shoulder down. and flew... it didnt look good but it flew...
Hugh wings, a OS 200 engine in a trainer! very nose heavy, all low rate setings, and 1000 miles of taxing later and I where a pilot.

So I think that that the small el airplanes that you could get for 5$ are taking away alot of the motivation for new pilots since they are flying like a paper in the wind.
Buy a hugh trainer with a big engine and it will fly steady and slow... WHEN you crash you just have to buy a new airframe for your nr 2 model and not everything just alittle bigger then what you already have...
