I have instructed with two different students that have this model. I think it flies well and the three blade prop actually slows the model down when the power is pulled back. This is the first trainer that I have flown that needs a little throttle on final. I like that because it will better prepare the student for their next airplanes.

About my only complaint is the nose wheel bearing screws. Both of these models had the nose wheel bearings come off after the softest landings I have ever made. The nuts must have vibrated off and that let the screws work themselves out while flying. I would check those nose wheel bearing screws. If you can get the screws off without the nuts dropping off a little lock tite should fix this...
