I am a new RC pilot and I have the Arrow trainer. It was very easy to learn on and I had my first solo on my 3rd or 4th flying day. It is fun to fly and I totally agree with everything that mrstang said, definitely more fun than a flat wing trainer. A friend of mine purchased the Alpha 60 to learn on, it flies stable and slow but you can't do much with it. If you want a nice trainer that will keep your attention get the Arrow. Now if I can just finish my little extra!!
