Default RE: Best trainer plane (lower budget)

The Kadet Sr. is a fantastic trainer - nice, slow landings due to the huge wing area. Only draw back is transporting it due to the size, even with the wing taken apart the fuselage is still quite large. It's also quite managable in higher winds that will keep other trainers on the ground or bouncing almost out of control. One of the best planes I've flown and a blast when it comes to vertical or backwards landings.

All of the planes in the Kadet series are good trainers. The most over looked is the Kadet Mk II since it's the oldest of the bunch and needs to be built, but could very well be the most rugged of the Kadet series. I've spent a lot of time flying the Mk I which is rudder/elevator/throttle, no ailerons.
