One week after I solo'd I finished my 4* kit and haven't flown the trainer, a kit built Great Planes PT-60, since. I immediately found the 4* much easier to fly, especially if the wind kicks up. I clipped the wings one bay for a little less float, but the 4* can still get bounced around a bit on landings if the wind is gusty, but not nearly as bad as a trainer with a bunch of dihedral in the wing.
