JJ,

Ditto, I also learnt on an avistar, tad bit of dihedral with a simi-symmetrical wing it also teaches entry level acrobatics unlike your basic trainer. Given it is tamer in the air then a stik but offers more then a basic trainer. My second plane was the WM SS 60 which comes with a 64" fuse and an 80" fully symmetrical wing with Hugh wing loading, I call it my kite. The SS 60 was actually easier to fly then my avistar and would make an exultant trainer as it is so slow and very docile in the air.
