Yes the eaglet is great, I had one and flew the crud out of it. I started flying again and my 11 yr old is having a hard time with orientaion with a forty size plane. like all kids he can fly the simulator better than us older guys. in real life the plane is alot farther away than on a sim. that is the only reason I sugested a bigger plane. I do feel that the eaglet is one of the best trainers out there.
