Bruce, thanks for the reply.  
That Super Sportster looks like it would be fun.  I've been 
flying my Thunder Tiger Windstar glider a lot lately and 
switching back and forth between the glider and the airplane is a 
bit disorienting.  I suppose I can get accustomed to the plane's 
higher stall speed.

I've got a cheap Futaba Attack rig without a buddy connection but 
my instructor can get plenty grabby.
