i'm not a real big fan of trainer planes but the only one i like is the avistar 40. it is very stable. and is also semi aerobatic. it is a light airplane so a 46 propped right will have really good power. it can take a heck of a beating and is easy to repair. if i was going to buy a trainer again this would be the plane i woudl buy. this was my first airplane and if i wouldn't have destroyed it i would still have it. i pushed it too hard and flew it like an aerobatic airplane. folded the wings up. too many g-forces at the bottom of a cuban 8. i'm thinking about buying me another one just because i like the way it flys. and i dont even like trainers but i like this one.
