The Trojan is a giant scale (2 meter span) foamy with electric retracts, flaps, everything, except a battery.

Very nice, a beauty, but pricey. When our weak dollar and HST is factored in the price balloons to $780.00

I like the new aerobatic biplane with AS3X and SAFE recovery.

On the other hand, the new sportsman SAFE+, I felt it too complicate for beginners who first time going to rc flying. I don't see how the new flyer without a proper guidance  can understand all these GPS calibration, setting up virtual fence, emergency disarm GPS function etc. Even at the field, asking the student to preflight setup all the settings, I felt the new SAFE technology becomes the cause of crash. Being said, I think this receiver is great for FPV beginner. It has GPS, Return home, auto landing, virtual fence etc..
