I had a Hobbico Superstar 40 as my first plane and it did a great job of teaching me to fly. It has since went on to another to train with and is still holding up strong. "All hobbicos are junk", I would have to completely disagree with this shallow comment. I have flown a skyvista for a fellow club member to trim it out since it was the planes first flight. It is a good flying plane but a little tame for my tastes. I prefer and recommend the Sig Fourstar 40 or H9 Advance 40 to all that ask for advice on second planes.
