I think the main goal is learn to fly, not survive to crashes
planes like lt40 are excelent trainers, forgiving a lot, very stable and also a good plane to learn the first basics of aerobatic flight.
It's also a strong plane, all wood (so easy to repair)
when flown in a club with the assistance of an instructor, there will be no problems.
when flown alone a lt40 is a very dangerous plane who can kill a beginer.
It's important to learn the basics of SAFETY also
the first rule of RC flying is "don't start alone"
