Default RE: Sig Somethin' Extra: a good second plane?

My second plane is a Sig 4* 40 and I had 9 flights with it, transition from a trainer to a low wing plane is a great feeling, I am sure that I could learn more things with my Trainer like rolling circles, and etc. but for the motivation having a better looking and more capable plane is more fun to fly. Flying the trainer was no fun for me to the end.

here is my 4*40

I am now feeling comforatble with the 4*40 with 46FX,knowing I can handle it on ground and in air. But I am still flying at 2 mistake height and low rates. With the last flight I increased the aileron low rate from 40% to 55%, there is a lot of way to go, high rates and 46FX is too fast me. I will take my time and learn as much as I can with it.

But good combination, knowing that you have power to get out of trouble is good, even though I fly mostly at 1/2 throttle. Landing take-off, flying was easier than my trainer.

Just my opinion.
