Absolutely! If you'll notice I included "with ailerons" In parentheses. I never understood why experienced modelers would recommend a 3-channel trainer. All that dihedral can make them a real handful in a crosswind, especially during take-offs and landings. Plus, a trainer with ailerons has a much wider envelope for learning basic aerobatics later on. The only problem with the PT-40 is that the kit does not include the materials with which to build the ailerons. Although the instructions do show a materials list as well as how to make them. Eh, youse pays your money and youse picks your poison!
