Default Getting the most out of a trainer.

Hi,

I'm a beginnner and I've got my solo last month after about 8 lessons.

From my trainer(Tower Trainer 40), I've learned taxi-ing, landing, take-offs and some aerobatics
which are loops, rolls and figure-8.
However, I tried some inverted flights but it was pretty tough due to the high dihedral(had to give mucho down elevator), which
made me think of more aerobatic plane.
But, before I jump into more aerobatic, low wing trainer, I'd like to get some advice from you about
what more I could learn from this trainer.

I actually have another trainer which I converted to taildragger.
I'll have a maiden flight this weekend, and hopefully I learn some about taildragger.

I'm also looking at some candidates for a second plane,.. I'd like to get a
1. scale
2. aerobatic but easy to land
3. sub $200 ARF.
Know of any plane that fits into this criteria ?

Thanks.
