My first plane was a Kaos 40. My chosen instructor said "go ahead and buy it ( used ) I can teach anyone to fly on anything". You guess it, it lasted about 8.5 seconds after he gave me the controls. I then bought a Thunder Tiger Skylark 40. This was an ARF trainer and this was 1985. ARF's have come a long way baby. Bottom line is I learned to fly and 21 years and 10's of thousands of $'s later I'm still at it
