Basically most of the high wing Trainers are good Planes to learn on. Hangar 9, Sig, Great Planes,Lanier all make good popular Trainers. There is probally not any one specific Trainer that could be considered the best even though alot of people are always happy to share their particular preference. The main thing is to just make sure you buy one from a company with a good reputation for making good Planes like those stated above. Stay away from some the Manufacturers with the not-so good reputation. I would name a few, but I don't want to get anyone fired up here. BasicallyI wouldn't worry about buying from any of the Manufacturers stated above. They all make a pretty good Trainer. Just a few popular favorites that I will mention that you can check out if you have not allready done so. Sig Kadet LT-40, H9 Alpha Trainer .40 or .60, H9 Arrow(sem wing), Lanier Explorer, Tower Hobbies .40 or .60 Trainer, Great Planes PT-40, Hobbico Selects, Superstar or Nexstar. These are not all, but any of these would do just fine. Any of the Planes listed above will hold up as well as can be expected, and there is plenty of ample info available about these Planes should you ever have to perform any repairs or mods. Just figure out a budget, and go looking for the best deal would be the best information I could offer.
