Your question is a bit misleading since we don't know what kind actual STICK TIME you have apart from the simulator. A high wing trainer may float like a butterfly, but it can cartwheel across the runway just like everything else - low rates or not. Best thing to do is call your local RC CLUB president or contact and ask them to take you out and fly one of their trainers. A good site to locate phone numbers is www.mapmuse.com - then look for the rc club link.

Otherwise I agree with the tail dragger comment - a good high wing tail dragger has suberb ground handling properties and lands with authority.
