I know. however, trainer means it can be docile and easy to fly when set up like that. when i tone down my throws on my twist, it flys very much like my old pt-40 does, and could be used as a trainer. but when i crank up the throws, it will do loops in 5 feet. also, it says "training pilots in aerobatic flights" meaning that it is not a "learn to fly" kind of plane but a plane that is forgiving, most likely a very light wing loading, and is not all over the place unless you want it to be. also, if it is training you for "aerobatic flights and "participating in the aircraft sport competitins" than it must be capable of doing so or it will not train you to do it. that would be like using my trainer to train people for toc flights. ain't gonna happen. you need a plane that is capable of doing it all to train pilots to use it to it's full potential in a competition. besides, this is not a "scale replica" anyway. it looks very much alike and has the same basic shape. check out the video. there are also other videos of the thing doing blinding "all over the place" spins, and all kinds of stuff that a "trainer" can not do.
