The PT 40 with the " trainer dihedral setting" is a pain to fly in the wind and to train with. With the "sport wing dihedral setting" it flys pretty much the same as other trainers. For new flyers that don't know the rudder from the ailerons, for older new flyers or very young new flyers the LT40 is the easiest trainer to learn how to fly. For new flyers that can handle a bit more performance in a trainer the rest are all pretty much the same. The LT25 is really good in the wind and makes a good tail dragger trainer as well. I sold my original LT40 but still have an LT25. [8D]
