Many clubs will require a B but there's no law to require one. However, there's a lot more kinetic energy compared to the average club model along with more legal responsibilities.

Having said that, in general large models fly better than small ones and I've found that pupils can get on well with something like the Super Frontier - around 80" span - and learning to manage the extra mass will instill good habits that aren't necessarily learnt on small foam models.

Martin, I still have and fly my Super Frontier Senior 80 inch wingspan trainer.   Its a great machine that I've had for years and it's powered with a Saito 72.
