My second plane was a SSE after flying a trainer for 30 days. I live 5 mins from our flying field, am retired and flew 6-10 times per week for that 30 days. Low rates are mandatory on the SSE to start with. On high rates it was a handful using an OS 50 engine. Did I mention my 4th plane and 5th plane were also SSE's. They were all ARF's. My 6th plane was a SSE kit. When it bit the dust I went to a RAZZLE with a Saito 72. It flies slower, has more capablilty, is bigger, cheaper and easier to see. Maybe the SSE isn't such a good second plane after all.
