I dunno. I owned a twist as a 2nd plane. With the throws reduced it is ok. However, the Twist is extremely fragile...especially right behind the canopy...almost all of them I have seen are broken there.

So...I would at least wait to fly it till you can land proficiently and not bounce down hard. It wont take very many hard landings. I think the Stick planes are the absolute best 2nd plane. I only bought a Twist because I had it recommended to me by a couple different people as a decent 2nd or 3rd plane...but not till I got my landings down to where I could grease in 10 of 10 every time.
