Hi samsDad,

Gald to have you in the hobby. It can bite, but it's sooo goood.[sm=lol.gif]

I own 2 LT-40 Kadet's and both were ARF's. One is converted to a taildragger and the other is a normal tri-gear. I have flown the plane you are training with once and enjoyed it but I would suggest that you stay with it until you solo. Sometimes it is not good to stop in mid training to go to another plane that may handle differently although most will agree that trainers are usually pretty much the same. But then if you feel that it is not the best plane for you then by all means do what you are doing now and ask.

In my experience I went with almost all of the advice my instructor gave me and within a few short weeks, I had soloed on the Xtra Easy 2 then immediatley changed to the Kadet and also madiened it on my own.

Just my $.02 worth, hope it helps
