Good thought. Most recommendations go for the high wing with a flat bottom in a .40 or .60 size. Then some go for the "stick" or coroplast and even the "dura" types. I have even seen a hignly aerobatic model recommended (not the best choice). Most hobby distibutor sites have "trainer" packages available. Some a little better than others but all seem to work well. Brand names aside the .60 sizes are easier for most students however .40 size is the one most students show up with (most likely from a cost standpoint). Even with this the new user will still post a question.
