Good choices, but as Ken said, if you can do it, go for the 60. It's larger, which makes it more visible, and a tad bit more easy going in the air. Turns are slower and more deliberate (seemingly that is) and in reality, this gives you a bit more time to understand and absorb what's going on. You will defiintely see a difference in landing, too. You can watch the plane react to your inputs during landings much better (visibility) than with the smaller trainers.

I have absolutely nothing against smaller trainers, but prefer the larger ones just for the reasons above.

As for the Hanger 9 Alpha 60, the only objection I would have is the Evolution Power System. I have had my share of problems with ths Evo engines and really prefer the OS engine lines. My personal experience, and that of many others, is that they are more reliable and, in some cases, have more power.

Best of luck with whatever you choose.
