It's not OS that I don't like, it's the LA model that I think stinlks.. OS FX
is a good engine if it "ain't" worn out. The four channel radio is not what you
need either. JR

Thanks Gene, I am really leaning toward the Alpha 40 now, especially
after our conversation about the 2.4 transmitter..... I called Mark to see if
he had any of the Alpha 40's in stock and he said not today, but he could order
one and have it by next wednesday..... But he does say that he has a used 60
size trainer hanging from the ceiling, it has a OS 61 FP and a JR Max 4 channel
radio.... says the guy will let it go for $200..... Trying to get more info
and pics on it now. What do you guys think of this... from what I can tell,
it has the OS engine, which Jim doesn't like, and it has a 4 channel
"crystal'd" transmitter, which is a negative compared to the Alpha 40...... Is
it worth saving the extra $100 ???

Hi Jason, I don't know what you have
that can be transferred to another
plane as thats what I wanted to talk
with you. The Alpha 40 comes with
a complete radio [2.4ghz] system
installed, has a decent motor in it
and has a 63in wingspan with ail-
erons. A very fine setup for a trainer.
The radio is the coming thing as there
are no crystals to fool with and no
interference from other planes that
are aready flying or from some jerk
who turns on without paying attention
to who is on what channel. You could-
nt do much better for a trainer that is
ready to fly and Hangar 9 is a very
fine company. They now have a no
shipping charge for this plane and
will stand behind their products.
A good choice but you will need a
buddy box cable too. I would order
directly from Hangar 9 on both items.
I can give you the phone #. Please
call me. Gene

Hey Guys,
Robert and I have decided that my second plane is
still...NOT A TRAINER. 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.
