not a must starting with a trainer?
i forgot to give the President Funflys details, its 36 size, a failry think low wing, large chord and span ( this means it flys slow and is forgiving ).
a high wing trainer will fly unaided failry stable, a low wing if not set straight will turn off to one side, or stay in the climb/dive it was lft in, this just means you have to FLY it more, which when starting might not be easy because of the concentration needed. once you get past these first stages the rest will come no slower than high wing training.
heres my student with his funfly, infact, they have a Hi boy trainer, but did better with this.
