Maybe, but it also had to have a controllable rudder to be a decent trainer. It's not legal for spins, but you can practice entry and recovery. That's one of the things I don't like, I like to do spins and I hate that this airplane isn't legal for them. To me that makes it a marginal trainer, because I'm one of those who thinks spin training is important.
