I agree wholeheartedly with the point on dihedral. I think most classic trainers have around 5 degrees of dihedral, which is great when you are flying with 3 channels. But when you have the option to use ailerons to roll into the turns, the negatives outweigh the positives. A high wing with maybe 2 degrees of dihedral is still pretty stable. The only negative is that it won't self recover from a sideslip stall fast enough to save the plane.

And yes, definitely not an Evo .46!
