I agree with most of what is above. I had a SS as my second plane and man did I love it. I moved the CG back so far that I got it into a flat spin one day and it never came out!!!! It spun into the ground. I still have it, but I just haven't taken the time to rebuild it. It was a little much for me as a second plane, but you'll get used to it. And don't listen to these guys talk about it landing like a trainer. It WON'T. You will need to land with a little more speed than you did with your trainer. The first few landings with mine, I crushed the gear, cause I ran out of speed. Try to land fast, if you can't do it fire up the engine and go around again, DON'T STALL IT.
