RE: How about this for a trainer
It really should be listed "for the utter novice" not "competent".
Usually they get this backward and rate advanced planes as beginner craft.... not so this time.
They got it wrong AGAIN, but this time in the wrong direction.
It actually does self correct as in flight the wings have a bit of dihedral and the presence of upswept tips.
As a trainer it's a pretty good intro, and the price is right.
As noted it can use standard packs producing long flight times.
