Default not a must starting with a trainer?

i dont know about the co pilot, but you have to fight the HAL unit, you have to keep the stick over to maintain the bank, or dive/climb. thats a very bad way to learn, you can turn this down, but its still there.
With the Co-pilot, you can use a 5th channel, and turn it on and off at will, or you can even use a proportional channel to adjust how sensitive it is. My point is that with some of the technology available today, there is no reason why someone can't learn on a low wing. For some people out there, it's hard to come up with the $$ to purchase a new plane when teir skills outgrow a trainer. So why not buy something that will keep you interested for a long time, but still be able to challenge your skills?
