The Apprentice and T-34 are not park flyers.  They need lots of room to fly in.  A park flyer is anything under 40" wingspan, and both of these are above 50".   A  T-28 parkzone can make a good plane to learn with off a buddy box. Not nearly as good as a high wing, but they do fly well and stable, it was the first plane I flew.

The Apprentice is a very stable plane to learn with, but you need room for it.
