Great flying airplane! You will, however, indeed find it different from your trainer. Like any sport plane, it will be "quicker" than your trainer. It goes where you point it and is not self-correcting as flat bottomed winged trainers can be. The suggestion to have a more experienced flyer buddy box with you for the first couple of flights is a good one. I like mine very much and once you get the feel of yours, I`m certain you`ll be pleased with yours. A little hint: mount your landing gear with 6/32 nylon bolts instead of he screws. They`ll shear off in less than perfect landings, saving you from ripping out your landing gear. You can get them at Lowe`s or Home Depot. A little extra 30 minute epoxy around the landing gear mount inside the fuselage is also good.
