The kyosho Piper cub is a great plane. Parkzone uses the same plane in their RTF kit, and I have realy enjoyed mine.

The PZ version is not sold as a trainer. It is a little trickier to fly than a pusher prop trainer, but not harder than a glowplug trainer would be. Its easy to fly, fairly forgiving, and very stable in flight.

In the wind, the cub is a handfull to fly, but it can handle winds that ground many other slow flying planes.
