Many thanks to all.

Actually, the plane has been given to a young friend, who is ready for his second plane.

This one should wait in storage then.

He doesn't like the classic 4 star or the Tiger, or kits.

What about this ARF?:

Phoenix Models Sonic 25

Low Wing sport trainer

Engine: .25-.32 cu in (4.1-5.2cc) 2-stroke engine

Wingspan: 52.3''

Wing area: 470 sq. in

Airfoil: Semi-symmetrical

That's more it!! I had one student that was able to go right into the stunt planes without any trouble but it doesn't happen all that often. I trained him on the trainer for a day then the second day out I went ahead and let him solo then fly the trainer by himself. MOving into true stunts planes was just easy for him. Most of us it takes a little longer. Seems the older we are the longer it takes.
