I have the PZ SE5a and it's a wonderful plane, probably a bit better flier than the Alby (depending on who you ask :D). I also have a whole buncha Tiger Moths. The GWS 400-size is a super-amazing...

Never flown the Pole Cat, but it's hard to argue with the Champ as a great trainer, and the T-28 as a great aileron trainer.

I think my ultra-micros went: Night Vapor, J-3 Cub, T-28. That Cub is...

It really depends on the direction you want to go - gliding? 3D? slope soaring? - but the Parkzone T-28 is definitely a good choice. Many people choose it for their first aileron trainer, but you've...
