Docile and subdued while airborne to a degree, yes. More forgiving than a low-wing trainer, quite possibly. However, it does have close coupling between the wing and tail surfaces. At high speeds and with enough elevator, it will snap. The plane can roll with just the rudder alone, no aileron input is necessary. Stalls are abrupt and very sharp, but easily recoverable. Cross winds are a challenge when taking off due to the windmilling tendency and possibility of a torque roll the moment the main gear leaves the ground. Always do your takeoffs into the wind, if possible and be ready for the ailerons. The Tango can be made to look like a trainer in flight, but this requires a very light touch. It is in fact a little twitchy and highly aerobatic, capable of extremely tight turns and loops.

The Tango was designed by Mike McConville, an RCU member. In one of his posts, he recommended getting the Pulse XT first before the Tango. I would recommend the same, reserving the Tango as a third plane after a Stik or low-wing trainer. On the other hand, it might work as a second plane if you are light thumbed and quick at the sticks. It does take some getting used to.
