Are you talking about an RC trainer?

yes

I don't know of too many RC pilots on this net. I personally don't have anything that could function as a trainer, and even if I did, I'm not
ideally located to pass it on.

Are you willing to consider a new trainer? Our club has given a lot of thought to this question, and we've tried a lot of machines. The general consensus is that the Hobbico AviStar:

http://www.hobbico.com/airplanes/hcaa2016.html

is the best of the lot. The semi-symmetrical wing section extends the
useful life of this aircraft considerably, since you don't hit the
performance wall that flat-bottomed wing sections present to the novice
pilot who wants to extend his ability. Also, several of our members have "straightened the wing" by cutting it in half and rejoining it with zero dihedral. Or buying a spare set of wing panels and so having one standard wing, and one straight. The AviStar with a straight wing is a very
capable aerobat!

The aircraft is on sale for $100 new. A basic engine would set you back another $60, and a radio maybe $120.

Of course, none of this info is any use to you if you particularly want to
get a used aeroplane -- unless you want to check eBay or something for
one...

No problem, as far as i can tell it was just an oops.

those messages from chinaman and you cant help but to be repulsed a bit.lol

Now Chinaman upsets me but for a reason most here would not know. I was the
ZC of Z6 for 3 years in fidonet. To see someone mock the chinese BBS scene, upsets me. It is not even remotely funny. Yijun Fan is the only remaining China site and he's off Australia with 3:800 net numbers.

His mockery falls completely flat here. Then again, I just moved back stateside after almost 7 years in Japan so you can realize I'd be far more familiar than most with that area of the world.
