Hello everyone,
I am interested in purchasing a aileron trainer in the near future. (month or more)
I want something that comes fairly complete.
The total price, with electronics, controller, etc. has to be under $250.
So far, I've only found this one:

If anyone could also help me find what type of servos, etc. I would need, as this would be my first ARF

I would suggest the Hitec Pro Sky Scooter. Its includes evreything even the 3ch radio[8D]. Also Model airplane news.com gave it a good review, and it has aielrons and is almost rtf . I have flown one at my local field before and it flew great. Here are some pics below.

That looks very nice!
However, I'd love to have a landing gear so I can do some rolling takeoffs and landings.
This is not manditory, but I'd love to have it.

Hi All:
Hey MP did you look into the T- Hawk it has the throttle,elevator,and rudder .After losing my FBCommander last week I think this would be my next choice for a plane.Lots of spare parts,your choice of AM or FM transmitter,wall charger,peak charger (Extra) for $149.99 US dollars.

Since the sky scooter didnt have landing gear i'll post this aircraft that i own
! Its the Hobbico Superstar Ep select. It comes with evreything including the radio etc... except for the battery charger. I bought mine on ebay with evrething for $230.00, but i found it at http://www.towerhobbies.com/products...co/hcaa14.html for $189.00. It's a little less sporty than the sky scooter but it has longer flight times

That looks like a nice plane but it is only three channel. That means throtle, rudder and elevator. No ailerons. This isnt the plane if you want them.

Oh ye of little faith! A true pilot does not let little things like lack of ailerons prevent him from doing rolls 
If you've got a plane with enough dihedral, you can get a pretty barrel roll out of a plane using rudder and elevator only. When you go to try it for the first time, though, do it about seventeen mistakes high, and be prepared to cut the throttle and pull up, because you'll probably end up with the plane heading straight for the ground on the first few attempts.
