Default RE: Another

A very big problem with this question is no one here knows or has seen any of the question askers fly. Second plane for one person may be a hand full for another. After the trainer, a Sr. Telemaster as a trainer my second plane was the Up-Roar 40. I had some problems but I learned a lot from it so my third plane was another Roar. I had that plane for a lot of years. It did have several repairs but it flew better and better as time went on.
No one knows what you can or can't handle. One of my young students went from trainer to the 4*60, that lasted two weeks, he insisted on flying it too close and it got behind him and the sun in the eyes got him. Then he just had to have an Extra. By this time I let him do as he liked without any input. He was able to handle it for quite a while.
It's your money and choice. Give the 47 a try, if it's too much then put it away until your ready. If this was a big Gold edition kit that was going to cost time and money I would say forget it for a while but if you hammer it you haven't lost a big pile of time or money.
An Up-Roar back in my early days was a $40.00 kit and takes a few days to build. When I lost the first one I didn't feel all that bad. I had a new one the next week.
