Default Trainer advice

Does anyone have an experience with thunder tiger 60 ARF as a trainer. Good or Bad. Have read that larger trainer are easier. Thunder tiger has 73 wing.
Also 40 size alternate is Sig LT 40 ARF with 70" wing seem to a popular choice but have read problems with porpoising when landing.
Please help with best choice.
Thanks

I own a tiger trainer 60 and love it, a lot of lift, can be flown slow or fast, smooth responses from the plane.
Even my instructors that flown it to trim it think its real nice to fly.
But thats our opinion.
Everyone has they're prefferences.

I have a SuperStar 60 ARF Trainer fitted with a Thunder Tiger 61 Pro. I highly recommend any 60 size trainer over a 40 size one, as they are a lot more stable, and cope better in windy days. Plus the TT 61 Pro costs that same as a OS 46 fx engine, and others $20 more. I only paid $100 for the engine (and you can use the engine in your next plane)

leplep: Greetings neighbor :-)

Here is a site where I have put together some things New Pilots ask or seek when starting out.
http://www.rcwebboard.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7488

And a side note to your statement about porpoising, and trainer airplane that is not setup properly for cg and or trims will have a tendency to do this and it can be corrected when the proper adjustments are made.

Any OS engine as long as it has a high and low end adjustment valve stem would be a good selection for less agrivation in the long run of our rc hobby.
