I won't say that trainers are easy for an inexperienced person to fly.  However, I will emphatically state that they are the least difficult.  Their high wing and dihedral give them the capability to self-right should you let go of the sticks.  Even the Hobbico Avistar and Hangar-9 Arrow advanced trainers have this capability built in.  Trainers are capable of very slow speeds with almost no stall tendencies.  They respond to control inputs in a slow and predictable manner, yet still offer enough maneuverability to evade trouble and even do some stunts.   </p>

In comparrison, the Goldberg Tiger-2 is considered by many instructors I've come in contact with to be the most forgiving and easiest plane to fly on the market besides a primary trainer.  They are, in fact, comfortable starting out new pilots with it.  But unlike the Avistar and Arrow advanced trainers, the Tiger won't self-right if inverted.  Instead, it will most likely go into a dive and crash instead.  There really is a big difference!</p>
