Default RE: Cap 232 a good beginner low wing?

I really appreciate everyone's input. I did end up buying the Four Star Forty and promptly stuck it into the field in a nose dive when coming around for the last turn. I turned to steeply, panicked, and gave it up elevator which sent it into a spinning nose dive. I had taken an old Goldberg Skylark 56 Mark II up about five times without incident when I decided on seeking the best "second" plane which led to my thread. I am beginning to believe that maybe I should fly my trainer about 25 times more (as someone has mentioned), so that moving up is not as challenging. I am in no rush, and don't mind building or fixing, as that is what go me into this hobby to begin with. I really just wanted another plane to practice on.
I also ended up getting a Tower Hobbies Kaos for Xmas which I just started building, as I fix the Four Star as well. Any other comments would be welcomed.
By the way, what is a heshey bar which another flyer mentioned?
