Ok I'm gonna throw my .02 in here also. If you feel that you can handle a very touchy aerobat go for the sse. My 2nd plane was a 120 size ultra stick, 3rd plane was a 60 size ultra stick 4th plane a Great Planes Patty wagstaff extra 300s, oh yeh did I mention 2nd to 4th was a 2 month time frame. the thing to remember is that all planes fly due to the exact same principles, only differences are in the way they respond to control inputs. The only way to know for sure if you are ready for it is to try it. if you are going to try wild 3d aerobatics do it very high and remember if you get into trouble chop the throttle and let the sticks go to the neutral positions, let the plane stabilize then fly out of any unusual attitude. belive me I did not learn to hover my Patty 5' off the deck (it was more like 500')
