Hi: I have had two Alpha 60's. I currently still have one. They are very good, stable planes. You can learn rolls and loops, stall manuvers, fly inverted, so they are not
just fly in a circle planes. They are a lot of fun. The Evolution .61 engine is a excellent engine. I have had absolutely no trouble with either one.

Follow your instructor's advice and you will be soloing right away.
