Status: offline 		I'm not speaking from experience other than I asked the same question, I am well beyond my second plane and still not sure I'm ready for it. Mostly because it is a fiberglass fuse and is not very forgiving in a crash or even botched landing. I think the plane flys well from what I have heard but is a fast plane and needs some experience behind the sticks to keep in good shape.

I guess I'm trying to say it's prob not a good second plane, however your skills may be better than mine

What is your first plane

Status: offline 		My first plane was a Fly Zone Sky Fly.

I have not crashed it due to pilot error. It has all been either wind, or my bad vision (no depth perception)

Status: offline 		I would have to say this is not a good choice then. This plane has a symetrical wing and does not self correct, you might want to consider a good trainer first. depending on whether you want an ARF or RTF there are many to choose from, Do you have a big feild to fly in or do you fly in parks.
The super cub is a very popular trainer but is a bit larger than your sky fly or even the Lancair
I personaly like the E-Starter from GWS, it is a very good trainer and can teach you a lot about flying full controls for little money
Good Luck with whatever you choose
