I think you'll love the Kadet. I started on an Avistar, which is smaller, quicker, and therefore harder to learn on. After the fourth major crash, I bought my Kadet and moved the radio and engine to it. Much better trainer. My Kadet has trained (and is training) four beginners.
One thing that I was surprised that no one has mentioned, regarding setting up servos to reverse the sticks, is that the throw on the throttle stick is such that it doesn't return to neutral when you let up on it. You would have to physically remove the sticks and place them into the opposite slots. The only person that I know that has done this, did it because he is left-handed, and wanted to operate the aileron/elevator stick with his dominant hand.
