The Bob Violett Bandit Jet is a great beginner aircraft.........................OK I AM KIDDING! Goldberg Eagle 2 is great trainer easy to fly and to build, the LT-40 is an excellent trainer too, durable and forgiving in the air, , its "daddy", the Kadet Senior is another outstanding trainer since it practically lands itself when properly trimmed. Now, the hobbico Nexstar is the newest thing on trainers with multiple innovations that allow the beginner to progress with the airplane at different learning stages while keeping it almost crash safe.
