SPAD Dominator is a high wing plane without dihedral. It is fairly heavy, fast and very much "point and shoot". Definately not good on any count for a beginner plane! It could be built with some dihedral in the wing but the 48" span won't work as well as the longer span in the Deb. If you want to go SPAD (for lots of good reasons), start with the BUHOR (with the dihedral wing) or Debonair. These are fairly easy to build, are durable and are great flying trainers. The Spadet is also a great flier and looks pretty good too but is somewhat harder to build for a first SPAD.
