Thanx Guys for your input and I do note it.
The guy at the hobby shop, where I bought the plane, is going too be my instructor also a friend of mine who flies. The hobby shop guy is the one who recommended the Ultra Stick rather than a trainer - due too the fact that I might get bored of the Trainer in about 4 months. He said you can set up the Ultra Stick to be more like a trainer etc. If this is true I don't know?
The Ultra Stik can be set up with gentle control throws so it isn't so twitchy, then they can be turned up as your experience and comfort with the plane increases. If you're going to be flying it with the hobby shop guy and/or your friend on a buddy box setup, I believe that the Ultra Stik can serve as your trainer.
I solo'd four years ago and I fly a wide variety of sport, scale, and pattern planes. I'm still not "bored" with flying my trainers, however, and in fact I keep one around so I can offer flying instruction to folks who want to give it a try.
You can learn to fly on the Ultra Stik if you desire. A good trainer is fun to fly, too, and they're always nice to have in your hangar for teaching others, putting floats or skis on them, using them to tow gliders, or taking out and flying when it's too windy to risk flying your "good" planes.
With experienced pilots working with you on a buddy box setup, you will be successful either way.
