I trained my 14 yr son on the Sonic low wing. Very well behaved and I had a Magnum .28 for power which was just about right for this plane. If you have any flying experience, then this plane will work well as a trainer. My son had lots of video game time and an hour or 2 on the GP Flight Sim. His only issue was orientation in the sly, which comes with experience. I would recommend this as a trainer.
