I have been flying an Easy Sport for the last 3 or 4 years and I love it and would definitely recommend it as a 2nd plane. I use mine (with buddy box) to train new pilots. It's a lot like a Stick, but with smaller control surfaces, and a bit of dihedral, so its a bit more stable. I love my easy sport so much that when the covering started to peel off I gave it a makeover. Side mounted the engine to keep the exhaust out of the wing joint, made a balsa cowl (that can be removed), a slightly bigger rudder, and gave it a new covering scheme. Heres a pic of it on the floats I made for it.
