That is the point!!!
It is harder to fly inverted and with total control with a Kadet than with an aerobatic bird.
There is no reason for not trying and improving, even if it takes the help of a buddy box.
Then, there will be much more to accomplish with that aerobat than just flying inverted, with which you are already proficient by practicing under more difficult conditions.
I must be missing something. What use is it to learn to fly a trainer inverted when the second or 3rd plane is designed for just that? Can't a trainer just be a trainer?
Because you'll have to work at making a trainer fly aerobatics where a more advance plane you won't. It's called gaining experience and building skills, and that is what a trainer excells at.
Nothing personal, but having 4 weeks of solo, able to shoot touch-n-go's and 3 dead stick landing to me ranks as a beginner who just soloed. At this point you need to work on precision in how you fly. Loops that are round, rolls that are more axial, Immelmann's and Split-S's that start/stop on reciprocal headings and level, perfectly level straight and level inverted flight, landings within a 2 meter spot 9 times out of 10, etc.
Most flyers want to move on to a secondary trainer way to fast. Take this time and spend the summer working on the fundamentals - there is plenty of time in the future to fly the higher performance aircraft, and you'll better appreciate them when you do move up from a trainer. I have one student who decided he was ready for more advanced planes and wasn't. So far he's crashed probably close to 30 in the past year, and his landing skills are basically non-existent.
I love taking a trainer and putting it through it paces to the limits of what one can do, and there isn't much a trainer can't do that a more advance aerobatic plane can (excluding 3D).
