Oops.

No disrespect, no disloyalty, and not a traitor. Key words are "For a beginner."

A 40-46 size gives much more probable success for a beginner than a 1/2A, unless the 1/2A plane is selected with more care than the beginner usually has.

Bill, just teasing you (I did put in a wink?)....

I agree, I tried many years to learn with 1/2A but never got really flying untill I bought an OS FSR 10, and a 15 sized trainer. Now I know I had my 1/2A planes WAY too sensitive (too much throw) but I do think it is possible to learn with a good 1/2A, but far easier with a good 40 size trainer.

You know I fly em' big and small too!
