ive been into rc boats and cars for 13 years and its time to get a plane. i just bought the jr 8103 heli radio and i was thinking of getting the super kraft rearwin speedster because it looks like a good trainer as well as it could do tricks when i advance rather then buying multiple planes when i outgrow the trainer. will the rearwin fly trainer like and will this qualify as a trainer through a club since it is a high wing? thanks

The answer to your question has been debated endlessly in this forum. I'd suggest using the search feature. Try searhing on Trainers, First plane, best trainer etc... Be prepared to do a lot of reading.

NO...IMHO that would not be a trainer.......

at all.....


Search away ...as mentioned it is talked about in several threads...but My favorite is the Sig LT-40
but there are several others.....

ok but what makes a trainer? this pkane has a high wing just because its big and expensive that doesnts say it wont have trainer like characteristics

If you do some research you will be able to answer the question yourself and also understand the answer

How do you even know what "trainer like characterics" are?? You asked a question execter_aces gave you an answer.

Here's a hint. An R/C trainer airplane will usually have the word "trainer" in the name. If it doesn't say trainer, the manufacturer will usually say it is a "trainer" somewhere in it's title. Another hint, there are almost no "scale" R/C trainers. And as has already been said, there have been bunches of threads in the last week or two which have gone into lengthy discussions about different trainers. It would be good if you could review some of these to save people from having to retype the same things over and over. Not trying to flame, just trying to teach you to fish rather than giving you one.

thank you everyone. i will buy 2 planes since i feel ill get more of this when i join a club and bring my rearwin to learn on. so ill set up a big stick 40 and also the reaarwin to fly after i complete my training. thanks again
