RE: Getting the most out of a trainer.
don't know how Handy you are but
you could cut the wing in half drop the dihedral down to almost zero. add in full deflection on your control surfaces. And start moving the balance point rearward. It works this is not necessary to learn aerobatics with a trainer. but it will make it a lot more maneuverable. Did it on a stick .40 and have my falcon set up this way.
