I've done a few sessions flying touch and go's with the Trainstar, and I must say it's quite entertaining. The aluminium undercarriage, just a 3mm strip, does a remarkably good job of soaking up bumps on touchdown and the wheels are sufficiently large to allow flying off grass fields, as long as they are reasonably well trimmed. However trying to land, or take off, from a field with a generously thick covering will see the Trainstar on it's nose.
Flying like this, on about three-quarter throttle and then gliding in for landings, you'll do about a quarter of an hour's entertaining flying on a 2200mAh battery, which is also packs enough grunt to pull the Trainstar out of awkward situations. Just don't expect it to do vertical climbs or you'll be disappointed...
