Chelseafc,
I take it that you haven't bought a trainer yet, and are hoping to learn on your "second" plane. Yes?

I certainly think it can be done, just might take a bit longer. Ask your instructor if he'd be willing to teach you using one, and go for it.

I would amend that by saying, NOT a scale plane. Scale aircraft tend to have higher wing loading and less forgiving flight characteristics. Go with a low wing "sport" plane like a 4 * 40 (4 star 40), or a Super Sportster.

My opinion of course.
