gazza,

is this the plane he is talking about ? link= http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=EFL4800

if so it is made as a trainer just a low wing trainer like the mustang pts trainer.

it has all the training aids and if its anything like the mustang should fly very well. granted its not the best trainer out there but YES you can learn on it just like any other trainer out there.

EDIT= just noticed the 55OS and realized he meant 55 os not 550 s lol
