This was the first glow plane I bought, LOVEIT. I also have two 40 size trainers, and this one is MUCH easier to fly and to learn on. It has lots of power, which makes taking off much easier. The 40's are less powerful, and climb out much slower, meaning you have to put in more input / concentration when taking off. Plus, the 60 fly's better inverted, flies better in the wind (flew it today in the wind) and is a lot easier to see due to its size.
If your on a budget, its only $127 month for 3 months, comes ready to fly with a computer controller. Just my two cents... Scoot
