do they have a website?

My 1.5cents info......
I think the best and the most affordable trainer over here is the Thunder Tiger easy Trainer.I know that it is on ly about $99 in the states and it is strong and takes heavy punishments.
I'm not sure if there are any other trainers out there as good for that price.

yes, the tiger is a good , but it has many plastic parts, cowling, turtle deck, stuff that the sun beasts up, plus, if u crash it and break the plastic, u r in trouble, cos it will look ugly. The Alpha, I've seen it go down 90 degrees against the ground, WHAM!!. nose down. Nothing, just the engine slided a bit, but the nosewheel didnt break, neither did the fuselage, or the tail. The Aplha's just the bomb, plus u dont have to build anything, just epoxy the wing and tail feathers. Later

Check Your Local Club.....
 
before buying anything. Find out what your instructor recommends, find out what radios most guys are using. for example if they use Futaba and you use JR, you may have trouble finding someone with a buddy box. At my field show up with a JR and you will most certainly need to bring your own buddy box. However there are always three or four futaba boxes at the field. So do some research not only here but also locally before your jump out and spend $300 only to find out ya gotta spend more finding a buddy box. I btw vote for the Superstar Select.
