Don't get discouraged if you can't fly your trainer inverted, that is the exact reason I bought a new arf. This is one of the things you should use to guage when you are ready for a higher performance airplane. When you see the self-righting of the trainer cramping your style (like flying into the wind with full down elevator) you definitely should upgrade to a sportier model. You may even be amazed at how much easier it is to fly with wind
