Come on now RC Sport! Sure the 4* will land really slow. Before landing though he plane is very fast, very responsive and aerobatic. A few(very few) new flyers may catch on the one of these quick enough to use it for a trainer but most will be having the bird doing fast rolling circles as the plane screams across the sky and not know how to stop it! The plane would be great fun for us with a small calloused circle under each thumb, but I wouldn't want to try training someone on it!
