So I don't own my own plane yet but I've had approximately 20-25 or more flights on my clubs high wing trainer with an instructor and buddy box. My instructor is very complimentary of me and helps my confidence alot. I don't know if all clubs in North America or just Canada have the same tests for pilots but here goes. I'm working towards my ''Wings A'' which at my club, is a take-off, procedure turns, four figure 8's (two towards, two away), landing pattern and landing. I feel like I'm pretty competant at it and once passing I'll be allowed to fly solo at my club but I lose the use of the clubs high wing trainer. I know that I want to go with an electric set-up for sure and I'm very interested in two eFlite models but my question is this... Given what I've learnt so far and with the stick time that I've had on the clubs trainer should my first plane be another high wing trainer (eFlite Alpha 450) or would I be able to go to a low wing trainer (eFlite Advance 25e). This is a serious question and I'd appreciate it if answers aren't condenscending. Basically I just don't want to buy a high wing trainer and get bored with it right away so all help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I have the Phoenix Flight Simulator on the way so I'll be getting more (virtual) stick time from that.
Not even going to recommend the next plane for you as I can already see that you are getting a lot of good information and recommendations.
What I do want to do is congratulate you on your flying and progression in this hobby. Sounds like you are progressing very well, and most likely could already out fly some of the self confessed experts here in the USA.
