Default RE: Which plane for a beginner?

Any of the Warbirds such as the P51, Spitfire, or ME109 for example are meant to fly fast and be able to turn quick, not the characteristics you want in a trainer. This is is a pic of our grass field. You can see that except for the pilot stations, there is nothing but wide open sky. Nothing to hit except the ground if you get too low. We have both a N-S and an E-W runway. They are both over 500' long and about 80' wide, big enough for our 1/4 scale plane pilotss.
