I think that people should fly a trainer to death, and then use an Ultra Stick as a second plane. I think that a fully-symmetrical wing, tail-dragger, with a four-servo wing, and no dihedral doesn't make a good first plane....however, I think that it should be your second plane (and a permanent member in your hangar).
Except for physically/mentally impaired student pilots, I would love to see the flat bottomed wing trainer go the way of the dinosaur and the Ultra Stick, Big Stik, RCM Trainer (the real ones, not the recently sold imposter) models return to their number one spot as king of the primary trainers. Flat bottomed winged models are more difficult to learn how to fly than models with fully symmetrical airfoiled wings that are set up by a knowledgable instructor.
Hey, we all have opinions and some of them are different. You are certainly entitled to your opinion and you have my respect for your choice.
