My hubby had the XtraEasy and loved it, until he flew my Kadet LT-40. He says the LT-40 is alot easier. But he learned on the Xtra Easy with out any problems and it is alot easier to assemble (about 30 min box to field). I have never flown his XtraEasy so I cannot say for sure. For some reason each of us had our own trainers and didn't fly each others. We now have a hangar of about 10 planes and they are all "ours" except for the his and hers trainers.
