RE: P 51 Trainer
My wife has had one since they first came out, she now has 2 as a matter of fact. I was our clubs chief flight instructor for years and my opinion after having flown the plane extensively is that it can be used as a basic trainer and as a first low wing plane. You will need to find an instructor who is not prejudiced against it, there are still people instructing who think you need a 3 channel plane to start with because that's what they used. The plane is properly advertised as a progressive training system. If you like the plane then by all means get it. Just be certain your instructor understands how and why this is truly a trainer.
