Default U Can Do 3D

Any low wing loading symmetrical wing airplane will be the easiest plane to land. I always have the hardest time landing trainers well, when taking newbies up. Oftne trainers are a bit nose heavy, throws are very conservative, and they are flat bottom wing. This combination makes it hard to slow them down to the speed where the wing doesn/t develop lift anymore, so touch down always happens at a to fast speed, and the plane jumps down the runway for multiple landings he he. With the symmetrical wing, once you take the AOA out of it, it doesn't generate lift anymore, and because of the low wing loading you don't have to worry about tip stall or other bad tendencies
