I agree with Bill. If you can fly a trainer, you can fly a Burrito. Keep these things in mind:

1. Keep the throws low at first. The surfaces are very large, so set it up with dual rates and move slow. I find I need expo on the rudder due to lots of rudder authority.

2. This plane is not meant to fly fast. If you put a decent engine on it, you will spend most of your time less than 1/2 throttle. I wouldn't prominse it, but I think you could put a 15 engine on this thing and it would fly. (not 3D of course)

3. with the wing planform it is very forgiving and as said before will fly very slow. If the CG is right it will float like a feather and won't stall without a very steep angle of attack. Don't be tempted to go nose heavy. I really think that makes it much harder on one of these style planes.

4. Learn to use the rudder right from the start. If you fly this baby with ailerns only you'll never learn to 3D, and slow/harrier flight REQUIRES rudder to keep flying.

5. Last, I found out the hard way that all flying is harder to learn up in the stratiphere. It's tempting to go real high to learn, but you really need to see the plane to learn 3D. I figure a screw up 6" off the deck is safer than 10' up. Bizzarro and I have dorked our Burritos SO OFTEN you wouldn't think they would still be flying. They both l;ook almost new. We were gonna build backups, but so far we just haven't felt the need.
