Default Which Trainer?

Hi, I want a trainer that is either a 40 or 60 size (or bigger) with a bolt on wing. Can you guys think of a few. Thanks, Gary

Alpha 60 would be my choice.

You might want to check out the Sig LT40... I think...I could be wrong... that they are now coming with a bolt on wing instead of rubber bands...

Check out the Sig Kadet Senior ARF. They are nice and large and fly so slow, it stalls very gentle and is a pleasure to land.

I am just getting started with a Xtra Easy II from Hanger 9. It was rtf for about $350.00, and has been great so far. The wing dosn't bolt on but it has a large surface area and the plane flys straight and level from day one. Take a look at your local hobby store or [link=http://horizon.hobbyshopnow.com/services/advanceresultsDetail.asp?strProd=&strInCategory=AR G&tag=dir]Horizon Hobbies[/link]

I am training a guy right now that is using a Hobbico Nexstar and is doing VERY well. Bolt on wing, engine very reliable and strong enought for some hard landings...
It's also very easy to put together without any additional items, like epox etc...All inclusive, but it will take about 1 hour to put together.
