It's a great trainer, and just a fun plane to fly. Just get ready for the trim colors to peel off real soon, and that includes the window panes. Other than that, it's a solid airframe and good flying trainer and sport plane. I fly the heck out of it. I got it for teaching my son to fly, but I think I am wearing it out before he learns, lol. I really enjoy flying horizontal circles and eights about 10'-15' off the deck with it. Also, it is my fun fly plane for our club events. When I want to stress free flying from my more aerobatic planes (I like sport pattern flying with a Yak 54, Giles 202, Ultimate), I pull out the Tower Trainer 40 for buzzing the tower and great relaxation.
