Jason...Just a couple of thoughts. First, I would stay away from the OS "LA" engine. They sure don't have a good reputation for lasting very long. Second, I've never liked the rubber band wing setup, but they have saved a lot of fuselages from damage if crashed. Only MY thoughts and they may not be worth a crap.

So I am going old school. Does anyone have any feedback about the below trainer, i.e. is it worth the money? I am leaning toward this one and the Hangar 9 Alpha 40 or 60. Let me know your thoughts. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGHD450
