Not that hard :) the twinstar with the FMA autopilot could be a good plane 
for learning.
It flyes very well and is very robust. Mine has survived years of bad 
treatment.

If you intend to build one, just swap the small direct drive propeller 
with bigger ones
The gear+propeller kit sold by multiplex for their cargo is a good choice 
(cheap + light).
This will greatly improve flight duration.

I can't remember where, but i think i read something on the net
about hacking it to become a teacher unit.
