Fine! While the Senior is a nice flying plane and will fly very slowly making it easier to learn to fly on it does have one big problem as a trainer! To keep the plane design very light, the fuselage is made of criss crossing sticks which come apart easily in a crash. This also makes it tedious and time consuming to repair in the case of a hard landing. And if you should hit a fence post, well you might as well start over! An LT40 or Avistar on the other hand are very sturdy craft which can tolerate heavy landings and bumps because the fueslage is made of plywood and the overall design is very strong.
