RE: Ready to buy a Trainer
You said you flew an Eagle for about a year, but you didn't say how good you were with it.
If you were flying solo, and have the basic skills, I would recommend getting an intermediate plane, otherwise, you could get bored quickly.
Take a look at the Midwest Aerobat. There's a review of it in the Magazine. Just click on "Magazine" at the top of the page and scroll down to the "Midwest Aerobat".
