One point I would like to make here. If the Tiger II is good then the Tiger 60 is better. If the Four Star 40 is good then the Four Star 60 is better. Why? Visibility is the main thing. And, the plane flys slightly slower than the smaller model which gives a bit more time to react to aircraft behavior.. although I must admit, and Minnflyer and Gray Beard are right on with this, the plane, if taught properly, will make an outstanding trainer.

My second plane was a Tiger 60. I learned so much from that plane. I could see my inputs and react accordingly. For example, I was coming in for a landing one fine day and the plane was right in front of me about, oh, 5 feet high and coming in for a landing. I added a very slight input to the elevator to flare the plane and I could SEE the plane react to it and adjust my input to make an absolutely perfect landing. From that day on, I continued to watch my landings, and pretty much everything else, very closely, and the size of that great aircraft, made that possible.
