Absolutely...I've not flown the ARF version but I know that I have never heard or read one good thing about it...
BTW, I suggested the GP Corsair not becuase I think flying a trainer or anything else is boring but becuase I think it would be a great way to get on the fast track to your ultimate goal, which I believe is flying scale warbirds. The GP Corsair kit would be a great second plane with minimal coaching for the first few flights, mainly getting used to orientation issues and getting used to the higher speed.
I myself fly several different kinds of planes ranging from scale, to a Soarstar park flyer and my original 15 year old PT-40 trainer. It's good to have planes for every mood.
