RE: recommendations for low wing trainer
The Great Planes Super Sportster EP and Mini Super Sportster EP could be good choices. You might also find the Slinger or Mini Slinger flying wing ARFs to be a good second plane.
The Formosa and Formosa II are nice airframes, but they're pretty quick and very aerobatic. They're more of a third plane than a first low-wing.
That Goldber Tiger 400 should still be on your list. You might also take a look at the E-Flight Mini Pulse XT and Mini Ultra Stik models. These are available either as ARFs or as PnP models that are mostly complete, just add receiver and transmitter.
