I like it .
Its easy to fly and can do basic aerobatics well .
My landings are a bit average in this vid as I have been flying other models and this was my first flight with the trainer for over 3 weeks now.
The motor/prop combo I use is great and has more than enough power

Sweet deal. I saw this video at work last night but read the "didn't have time to edit it down" so I waited until I got home to watch it. It looked like it flew really well but may have been just a hair nose heavy. If there are any suggestions you have for the plane, let me know and I will try them out. If they work, I will change the plans. Thanks for posting this.

It might have been a tad nose heavy in the vid , I did not take the time to get it perfect .
I was a bit rusty flying this as I have been flying my Multiplex Fun Cub the last few weeks and not had any time with this model for a while . The Cub floats in for landing a bit better than this does and it took a couple of flights to get the feel back.
Not sure if my changes should go on the plan.
The changes I made were to suit my needs and may not suit the way others want to do things .
The rudder /elevator was changed to suit the use of hinges and the motor is mounted a bit further forward on mine to allow for a greater CoG range.
I am not sure if mine is the size its meant to be as I think I stretched it a bit due to the way the plan printed .
The wingspan is 1200mm as that is the size of the foam sheets I used and it was close to the plan size and the fuse from motor mount to end is 795mm (just the fuse , not including elevator or cowl)
If I have made the fuse longer than intended then that will explain why I had to move the motor a bit further forward to ofset the weight of the tail.
I enjoy flying this model and hope to get a few hours on it .
It realy is a simple to build and easy to fly trainer
