I agree, great way to get started. I learned on the eagle II and it was a blast, started out with an LA46, eventually swapped to a magnum .52 and it made it a blast as I learned more.... met an unfortunate end with an 'inverted landing'..

I beat the heck out of it and it was easy to repair, plus it took lots of abuse..

besides, it looks cool, actual windows and a pilot.. not something you see in every trainer..

good luck have fun!!!
