If it's as good as their Electric Airstrike, stay away from it!!
If you're looking for a trainer, I'd stick with a more proven airplane. From what I've seen, the Nitro Airstrike certainly isn't priced better than a lot of the other trainers out there that are known to be good flyers.

Megatech definitely isn't a name associated with quality among RC flyers, but their Nitro Airstrike got a surprisingly good review from a MAN reviewer (I think it's Chris) in a Hobbytown USA newsletter. It's their first attempt at a non-foam plane though... Actually, since it's bundled with a fairly decent BB 46 and Airtronics radio gear, it may actually be a a better buy than say the Hobbico Select plane if it's the same price (since the Avistar and Superstar Selects both are bundled with the OS40LA POS). As your skills grow, you'll be able to use that 46 on other models, while the LA will sit as a paperweight...

I would get a more proven airplane. Megatech does not have a good reputation with its other aircraft.

The MegaTech Airstrike is a great trrainer. It was my first plane, that I'd had for the past two months. It has survived two major crashes (pilot error), and the M-46 engine (1.47 hp) has proved to be so reliable that I've put it in my new plane, having graduated from my trainer. The beauty of the MeagTech kit is that it is 100% assembled, beyond that of an ARF. And it's a four channel trainer (with ailerons) with Airtronic radio gear (I'm using that in my second plane as well). Dont kick a product until you've tried it. And I love to watch the people in my club tinker with their O.S.'s trying to start them with an electric starter, and one pop of the chicken stick and I'm flying. Great kit.
