I had a chance to run a simulator on several planes, and the low wing sport planes were the easiest to land. They just go where you point them, and ground effect is stronger so you can put it a few feet above the runway, level, then cut the throttle and give it a slight bit of up elevator and it settles right in. A trainer is a bit more tricky, as wind tends to have more of an affect and the wings have more lift, plus the response is slower. To me, that's good because it will help you keep your Sig 4-Star or CG Tiger II looking decent after the first few flights.

OK, so I mentioned about low-wing and high-wing trainers, with the low wings being easier to land. There is an exception, however (there always is). That would be the YAK-54 that you get with RealFlight G3. Slow it down too much, and it tip stalls. Go too fast, and you overshoot the runway due to too much wing lift. Torque steer is strong on that big motor, so careful with the throttle and use that rudder often. The YAK-54 will go exactly where the beginner points it, and then tip stall for no reason at all! I know, because I tried it believe me. Which, of course, brings us to the bipe with the bike engine (pun intended). My theory is, the bipe handles like the YAK-54, only it tip stalls and does its thing faster, quicker, and more efficiently. A clipped double winger like a Pitt's can literally fall out of the sky if you you're not careful. Since the wings are so much shorter and body chunkier, and they're HEAVY for the amount of wing surface, you're gonna need some speed to get it back down in one piece. Believe me, some of these planes you actually have to FLY them into the runway (a hot landing) or they won't land at all (you get to use that plastic bag).

Get the trainer first, get good at landing. Get the G3 flight sim, and practice practice practice. Then, get your low-wing trainer (they're actually quite nice, and reasonably fast too). Keep both of them, you want the trainer for utility purposes and the low-wing for knocking around. Then get the flying motorcycle with the second mortgage as long as you don't take blood pressure meds. If you ARE prone to high blood pressure, the big bipe with the bike motor's gonna raise that a few notches. I hope this helps some.
