Good morning Moses912,which way you go is really up to you,I instruct at two different clubs so I get to use a lot of different planes for free,kind of nice,also have 25 planes in my hangar.Most of the new pilots learn faster and better with a flat bottom trainer,I know we are hoping the trainer will do for the 1st, 2cd and 3rd plane but I think in the process of learning one can try to advance to a plane to high above there skills,in the process of just keeping it flying alot of the fun is missing,and a lot of the learning level and skill is by passed.Over 80% of todays r/c pilots don't know how to use the rudder,lots of pilots are afraid of 15 mph or higher winds,all of this learning should be with a trainer, with the trainer design left in the plane to help the person learn to be the best they can be.I've seen lots of experienced pilots take a trainer and just flat out fly an inexperienced pilot with a 300 or extra,nothing beats stick time and educated thumbs,what ever you do have fun,and welcome.
