OK, so all the good stuff is in the loft (and I don't want to risk breaking it) so am considering something a bit gentle to get be back on track. I was thinking of getting another discovery but no one seems to have any... Then saw the Hobbyzone? Corsair being sold as a trainer. So the question is has anybody had any experience with this or similar models? |

Hi Leigh , personally I would not go for corsair even with SAFE. If you really would like to go for a scale I have heard and seen the Horizon 1.2M spitfire mkxiv is very stable. Other sports model suggestions to get your eye back in would be , MAx Thrust riot , or one of the Chris Foss foamies . Im sure you will get lots of other suggestions as well , the discovery is great if you can wait for them to come back into stock. |

The Discovery is a very good bet and worth the wait. Why not pop down on a calm day and we can get the Club Zephyr in the air to get your hand back in? |

Thanks for the input folks. I have talked myself out of the scale 'trainer' models for now. I really preferred the way the discovery flew but I think for now I'll blow the cobwebs off the Riot and have another go with that and maybe take you up on that Zephyr offer Norman. Cheers |

Seems the ST Discovery is coming back into stock, a container must have arrived or be due. Kings Llynn models have them listed for end October delivery for £115 with free postage.
