the Mid Star 40 is even better in my opinion as a second plane, I have one as well set up like a taildragger (builds both ways) It has a 46FX and is a great plane to fly, docile and lands as slow as most trainers. I also learned with an LT-40 and the transition was easy. I have flown 4*s and they are good to so its pretty much your choice...look on sigs website and compare.
