Those flat bottomed trainers are TOOOOO hard to fly in any kind of wind.
How many calm flying days do you get where you live?
I consider that a good thing for exactly the reason you mentioned. Students NEED to learn to fly in the wind, and learning with a trainer is a good way to learn that. Here in SW Oklahoma (yes, the wind does actually "come whipping down the plains" ) our "normal" wind grounds some places around the country.
