Don't believe everything you read on a manufactures web site, and even more so on the site of a company that wants you hard earned money in their pocket. Jet style planes like the one's you're looking at are fast, highly maneuverable, and with a hefty aileron deflection have an incredible roll rate. If you want a cheap, easy to fly, rather tough trainer, Tower Hobbies has the [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXMYK8&P=]Easy Star[/link]. Only drawback is it won't handle the winds the .40 size trainer will, but will fly within the small area you want to fly in.

I highly recommend no matter what you fly, try to find an instructor to get you started and test fly your plane for you.
