I learned on a Hangar 9 Easy 2, shich are now selling for $100 or much less in some cases. No gluing, just a screwdrivder for assembly.

I got mine for $150 and it included a rocking MDS .48 that now powers my Great Planes Super Sportster. The Super Sportster is, IMHO is a little faster and a lot less forgiving than a flat-bottom dihedral wing trainer.

Get one that's easy to fly, 'cause you will want a sportier plane after you get better at the basics.

Regards.
