I have the Eflite T-34 PTS, though haven't flown it yet. It has been described to me as a very easy first plane. The Mustang PTS should be very much the same.  With the droops on the ends of the wings, they will be far less likely to stall out so you will have a very hard time trying to stall or spin it.  If you have an instructor(which I am waiting on), then go with the PTS. <div>
</div><div>I have a UM t-28, and I can nearly flip that little plane with the rudder. It is really squirrely  when I play with the rudder, makes it dance around the sky.  If you know the T28, it is a low wing trainer, with very little dihedral, but since it is also a very thin wing, not flat bottomed, it can do some crazy things with the rudder.  Flying it upside down is a snort, problem is, it is so small that sometimes I dont know if Im up or down when it gets too far out.  A kick of rudder helps me figure out which way it is and can usually right it.  Darn little thing almost barrel rolls with just rudder.  It's a 4 channel plane though, so you should see it snap roll, its just too bad it doesnt handle wind very well, or I would fly it more.  Someday  I will fly my T-34, that should be a blast too. </div>
