Zachery,

The planes Brian and others mentioned above are certainly not as docile as a kadet and I could see your point of polar opposites. I was thinking that maybe he was thinking he was ready for something a little more advanced as he did post in this forum.

I do agree that the planes mentioned would exhibit good slow speed characteristics. John Boren the designer the Mini Pro gave us the perfect transitioning plane from trainer to pattern IMO.

There are others for sure like the one doxilla mentioned the Scallywag, albeit it's a tail dragger.
