Out of personal experiance, I would reccomend the great planes easy sport .40. It glides like a trainer during a deadstick, put is fairly light. Light enough that i could torque roll it with a .50 size engine. While at the same time, It has taken more abuse than i would reccomend dishing it out. It is two years old, has been broken in half, had everything from sunglasses to mufflers go through that wing, and has withstood landings that have trashed many nosegears. It's trim has not changed through that all, And has never needed an overhaul. It is quite capable when you want it to be. It flys very well upside down. Well enough that i used to do 3 foot high inverted passes over the runway. That was my second plane. It has no bad habbits, stalls strait forward, and takes in wind well. I would reccomend that plane and guard itwith my life.
