The PTS with all of the training aids is just slightly faster than a high wing plane, but still exhibits the slow flight characterisitcs of a trainer.

It's certainly NOT the plane for someone to "go it alone" but with an instructor in the mix, progress is very good.

It's probably not the plane for someone with no simulator time, and who has inherent problems with orientation.


However if you have a bit of RC experience, have played with the sims, or are fairly good from a spacial standpoint, the PTS is a good plane to start with.


Heck I was flying mine solo the first day on the field with an instructor, after a bit of simulator time, and this with no prior RC experience.


Most students end up having to unlearn many of the tendencies they pick up with the high wingers as they transition to other planes.

The PTS permits you to skip this step.. ( my "second" plane was a 40S Ultimate Bi-Plane ).

As advertized the PTS becomes your first, and second plane, and after you move on to something else, it's a blast to fly as a sports plane.


It may not be the "perfect" first plane, but that doesn't mean it's not a good plane to start out with, with an eye towards the future.
