VeMax:

I'm sorry if I sounded negative about your Slow Poke. I thought
you may have had the 15 where it wouldn't have been much
different from your trainer. You'll be able to handle the 40 just
fine with maybe one trim-out flight on the buddy-box. As you
move on to more challenging planes, the Slow Poke will always
be a pleasant break to fly in a relaxed manner.
