A Lot of people have asked me what a good setup is for a 60-sized Trainer; I have made a list below to give you guys an example of a nice .60 size trainer:
Recommended trainer: Hobby Star 60:

This makes a great electric trainer because it has an easy to reach hatch that you can use to swap batteries without taking off the wing and parts for this trainer are readily available at most hobby shops. The larger size also makes it easier to fly when in comparison to 40 size trainers. Both Tower Hobbies and Andy's Hobby Towne have this plane, however, its a bit cheaper online as you an use a coupon to get a discount and free shipping bringing the total to $135.00 shipped.
Motor Power System:
For the power system, I recommend going with a Hobby King Brushless Outrunner, the SK TURNIGY series:

This is a good motor and works well with 5s/6s Setups, I recommend staying with 5s for similar performance to that of a .60 size Nitro motor or 6s if you want it to perform similar to a .90 size Nitro Motor.
ESC (Speed Controller):
You will need a speed controller to power your motor; think of this is as a pricey "throttle servo"

If this is out of stock you can use this one:

Be sure to ALSO get the programming card as you'll need it to program your ESC:
