Yes, a good point in favour of the Trojan is that most members have owned one as a trainer yet many continue to fly them today. My approach to recognising planes that are nice to fly is to look at what planes people fly often. The Parkzone T28 is a stand out. A very popular plane.

Some points behind the T28:
* It is stable at low speeds (therefore forgiving if the speed is set wrong - too slow).
* It is hard to tip stall - meaning you won't lose control on an accidentally too slow approach.
* It flies moderately fast if required.
* It can do most manoeuvres
* It fits in your car without having to dismantle it.
* The canopy easily removes to expose the battery, servos and ESC.
* It is tough in the event of crash (but can be broken - and repaired again)
* It glides nicely - which is good for landings.
* It flies quite well in strong winds so you are not restricted to calm air being a foamie.
* You can do your MAAA Bronze Wings test on it.

The E-flite apprentice is pretty much all of the above except that it is slightly larger and will probably require you take the wings off when transporting in your car plus it is perhaps too stable making it a bit sluggish on controls. This is good for a learner but I have noticed Apprentice owners soon buy a new plane as their skills develop where T28 owners seem to fly on.
