The web site states 'high performance". This is NOT an RC trainer, but a "scale" model of a full sized military trainer, not to be confused with something like a Nexstar, PT40, and so on. I would not recommend a new person to RC try to use this as a basic RC trainer.
Hehe, yeah, but it's marketed by the same company that wants you to believe an F-22 Raptor is an ideal first airplane. The marketing folks just figured the words "high performance" would sell more boxes than the phrase "low performance."
I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss the T-28 Trojan until the flight reports come in. It might be better suited as an electric sport plane, perhaps the next step after mastering the Hobbyzone Super Cub.
