With the droops, speed brakes, flaps & slower prop it comes in somewhat like a trainer, at very slow speed.

But with the included prop, it will seem not to have a lot of power. This is by design and often instructors are all too quick to remove the prop and the speed brakes.

The speed brakes slow the plane, and add a small amount of nose down tendancy, which counteracts the nose up tendancy of the flaps.

The plane was designed to act as a trainer when all of this stuff is used TOGETHER.

At worst replace the prop, but leave everything else on, for your initial flights.

As you get comfortable with the landings, you can start removing things.

Newbies tend to be quite hard on landing gear, as they have not learned how to make good landings.
They rip the wheel wires out, then blame the plane.

An instructor will help you get past this phase without trashing the landing gear.

You should use the fixed flaps as recommended for trainer mode, until you are about done with training.

Afterwards add the flap servo, not before.

If you can keep the plane in one piece through your first couple of dozen flights, you'll enjoy it as a sports plane all the more.

It does get buffetted around by the winds more than I would like, as it weathervanes into the wind a bit.

This makes it difficult for the novice to fly in medium winds. I would suggest avoiding winds over 6-8mph until you have MANY flights under your belt and are experienced with cross wind landings at lower wind speeds.
