Default RE: Best trainer for me to re-learn?

Like some others here without knowing what your experience level is makes it difficult.

I had about a 14 year layoff returning to the hobby about six months ago. I had several airplanes in storage, most pretty well storage worn. I selected an old Sweet Stik as my re-entry trainer to get going again. I recovered the airplane, got the engine running well. Then went out to the local field and flew a few hops. The first flight was not all that comfortable as it was a maiden flight for the old re-covered bird. Once trimmed out it flew great. It wasn't too long before I was dragging my old King Cobra out of the shed for some flight time. Yes, both airplanes are still in one piece

I'd say a large Stik with the G-20 or G-26 would be great setup. It will be a good airplane to get you back in the swing of things and one you can certainly advance with quickly.

Welcome back!
