I always keep a pair of trainers in my stable. I recently traded one of a pair of modified 10 yr old Superstars, for a used Avistar. It will get some mods as well, but it will stay with me, and like its Superstar brother, get plently of air time. Trainers are hugely usefull & relaxing birds. There is also much more challenge in forcing a trainer through complex aerobatic evolutions than there is in doing it with a purpose-built aerobat. Keep your trainer -- eventually your skills will mature enough for you to really fly it.
