I have been flying a Unicorn flying-wing (unicornwings.net), similar to a Zagi, for about 6 months now on my own. I'm fearless (it's an EPP foam wing), can do just about every maneuver possible with a speed 400 motor, and enjoy flying as close to the ground as possble between 1/4 and 1/2 throttle in restricted (1 1/2 acre + trees) areas. While the wing is great, I would like to move on to something a faster and louder (so I fit in at the field). Since takeoffs and landings are completely different with the flying wing (no wheels) I intend on starting with an instructor and get experience.

Do you think I should go with a trainer or move on to a so-called second plane? I'm working on building a GP Ultra Sport + currently but if there any huge issues with that I could certainly swallow my pride just this one time. Difficulty and carnage do not intimidate me but if a trainer is called for, could you suggest one that is fairly acrobatic so that I don't quickly outgrow it?

Thanks,
Danno
