value for $ low wing trainer

[Merciful]

my high wing trainer gained a new feat today!!!

+10 to Tree Climbing skill..........

......spent more than 1 hour ( and 4 great souls from the flying site...I just stand around looking helpless ) to dislodge the plane from the grasp of the tree ( about 5-7 meters from the ground ).......

lucky there's not much damage......

but including this time this plane been trashed twice liao.

Need to start considering next plane......want to buy a low wing trainer next.

Any recommendations for a value for $ low wing trainer??!!

Looks ugly as hell, but fly it and you'll love it.

I lost mine to a spiral.

Right, not as nice as everyone like it to be.

Well it looks like a std "box" configuration RC plane in the 80s. The is the most common design as it is easy to build and repair, most of the trainner looks this way either for low or high wing. My low wing trainner looks the same but of 35 size instead of 40 size. Don't worry about the look as this is not important during your learning curve, is the flying characteristic the major factor to be consider.

True! You don't need that fancy Great Planes PT40 to get into the air...

Those Vietnamese planes do the job.
