Not that hard :) the twinstar with the FMA autopilot could be a good plane for learning. It flyes very well and is very robust. Mine has survived years of bad treatment.

If you intend to build one, just swap the small direct drive propeller with bigger ones The gear+propeller kit sold by multiplex for their cargo is a good choice (cheap + light).
This will greatly improve flight duration.


 I had an old Pentium 200 laptop,
but
the keyboard and the battery are shot.  I don't think it is worth
investing
more money in.  My transmitter is a Multiplex Cockpit which only will
serve as
a learner and not a teacher from the buddy-box connector.

I can't remember where, but i think i read something on the net
about hacking it to become a teacher unit.

I am still
stuck
with a temporary money plan.  I have built about a dozen Elictric powered
planes and my current RC joy is watching others fly them.  All things
pass and
eventually I will get a new laptop which is the major hurdle.  The one I
was
looking at is about 1500 Euro.  Will the system run under a pure Linux
machine?

It is linux only, as it is my only OS

Linux is my other big hobby.

Same for me :)
