I have both the Ultra Stick 60 and the 4* 60 and recommend either one. I transitioned from my trainer to the 4*, but was flying the US 60 shortly after that. The US 60 has been set up with crow and quad flaps, but you don't have to use them if you don't want to. And if you keep the throw's on low rates, the US60 is very stable and handles very well at low speeds.
