First off, I should point out that I haven't flown either model, although I know quite a few folks who have flown one or the other. Both models will do a very credible job on all of the maneuvers that you will encounter in Novice or Sportsman. It is often said that success is 95% practice and 5% plane (assuming that the plane is straight and properly trimmed.) At this point in your career more benefit will be gained from studying the maneuvers, practicing your centering, learning how to do truly round loops, etc. than from choosing one particular model over another. You should also know that there are many flavors of Daddy Rabbits. The most popular is the version that Dennis Hunt offered at one time, but there are no plans or kits of this version commercially available. If you are at Chattanooga there will be many opportunities to inquire about the different versions of DRs.
