Just remember, the trainer plane is a temporary thing, maybe a month or two to build your skills, it will be replaced with a plane that is more of your liking, but it's the skill set that it teaches that matters. A glider shouldn't be snarfed at, believe it or not, gliders are not only excellent trainers but can be some of the best planes to challange yourself on. A small rock of the wings will signal another thermal that could net you another hour in the air, some of the fastest R/C planes are gliders, just check out f3b gliders, I own a MEN gobbler that should hit the mid 200's in a speed run. So view the trainer as something to hold you over till you can get the bird you really want, yes I own one of those 3d yaks, electric that is, it's slow, but NOT a trainer plane, infact, if it weren't for the rudder and gear, it's real easy to forget which way is up on it, a round body with a wing in the middle far away looks the same rightside up or upside down.
