Seagull Arising Star Trainer ARF

With so many trainers out there it sure is hard to decide which one to go with! My first choice was the Hanger 9 Arrow 40 - it has a semi-symmetrical wing to it and with all the flying I've been doing on the simulator I figured it would be a good choice.
Thankfully it wasn't available locally. Further consideration prompted me to go with a regular trainer with dihedral in the wing, figured it would save me money in the long run. This particular model also just happened to be in stock at the local hobby shop.

It came as part of a package recommended by Sig Manu. A Hitec Laser 4 FM radio system and an Aviatronics AV-46 engine made up the rest of the package.

It was pretty slow going since I was putting it together before I found this web site and forum. Pete has been an invaluable source of information since I started posting to the forum.
Now it's all ready to go for it's maiden flight, and I am just stoked. (Hope the countless hours on the flight sim pay off) :)
