We hear this all the time in here, but here's some food for thought. There are not boring planes, only boring pilots. I've been flying for 10 years now and I still have my trainer, and still take it out and fly with it. A trainer will give a lot more "exciting" flying than most will give it credit. Most trainers will do a majority of acrobatics maneuvers. What makes it so much fun is that on the trainer it's usually ALL pilot skill to get the trainer through maneuvers. This can actually make you a better pilot because you have to stop and think about what you need to do to get the plane through a maneuver, and then when you go to a more traditional aerobatic plane you might just find it easier for you to fly maneuvers because of the time you spent on the trainer.

Just some food for thought.
