Personally after having owned and flown a SSE I would not recommend it as a second plane...a third perhaps but not a second. It is very lively, even on low rates so I would recommend something along the lines of a 4*40 or the 60 size. Get yourself a good handling low wing tail dragger, learn lots from it and then move up to a SE. The SE is like an egg beater on steroids...ha ha. The SSE is not really difficult to fly once you have some experience, it takes off and lands very nicely, recovers right now from spins etc but as I mentioned, it is very high spirited and could get you into trouble really fast if you were to start over correcting your inputs.

Just my opinion, feel free to disagree

Cheers
