RE: Nice beginner planes.
I used the Sig senior ARF as a trainer and found that with the .46 fx is wasn't the fastest plane but was very easy flying and gave you time to think about what you were doing. on the landings it will float as long as you need it to. Actually today with an 8mph headwind
if felt and looked like the senior was stuck in one place on her final approach. I then flew my Pt-40 for the first time and as it wasn't as forgiving as the Senior it flew with alot of the same characteristics. long glide and easy flying. although it is alot faster. After I came in a young boy with a tower RTF trainer came out and was flying that. I noticed that with my limited flight experience that both my trainers and others I have seen can do alot of aerobatics. you just have to get up a few mistakes high and try it. as ken and bruce have both said some of the manuevers may not be pretty when done by beginners, but the trainer is capable of some fun flying and will do just what there name impies TRAIN you to fly RC airplanes.
