RE: next aircraft and suitability
this would be a poor choice at the present time as it is a scale ship and most scale ships are heavy and snap roll on take off by in experienced pilots.you can buy it know and save it for when you are ready.for your second plane to get ready for the staggerwing.get a tail dragger alot of people have been using the sig 4 star series.after you can fly the dickens out of this plane start adding weight to it at the cg point to increase the wing loading to about 28 oz per square foot do this slowly in 4 to 8 oz increments and notice the difference in take offs and landings.practice spin and stall recoverythese things will get you ready for success with the beech
