As to the poor phrasing of the manufacturer's description; how many other Chinese made products suffer from such clumsy translation? so many that such poor translation even has it's own name;"Chinglish", and I try not to judge products based on such language barriers. I especially liked "It could be a creative festival gift for your lover" , which sounds to me like a poor attempt at "It could be a great special occasion present for your spouse" , laughable for sure but doesn't speak much to it's quality(or lack thereof)
I got where you were coming from, just figured I would put out my .02 on it. I don't want to tell someone to buy something that I wouldn't actually buy myself.

I used the MkII in my last post because it was the closest to that Chinese plane on Amazon in size as well as the lowest priced of the Kadets. It's also the easiest to build, being slab sided. Not knocking the Senior/Seniorita in the slightest, both being planes with great reputations, easily modified and trusted designs. Hard to ask more than that from any trainer.
