It's amazing how fast some people try to advance or move up to a hot rod plane.

You shouldn't even be building a 4* untill you can fly inverted with your trainer.

Learn to fly your trainer inverted. Learn to do rolling circles with it. Yes- you can do rolling circles with a trainer. It's not pretty, but you learn how to use the rudder and power to manage the plane. Now learn to rolling circles in the opposite direction. Deadstick it from ANYWHERE in the field. Deadstick it in the weeds on purpose. Learn to handle the plane at a near stall. Learn to handle it at a stall. Learn how to magane throttle for altitude and just generally fly the trainer untill you can almost do it with your eyes closed and you NEVER have a close call anymore.

THEN your ready for a 4*.

Fly for a few years and get 3 or 4 low wing planes under your belt and THEN tackle a 25% Edge or Extra.

Trust me- you'll crash fewer planes and have a lot more fun in the long run.

I've seen quite a few guys jump from a trainer to a 40 or 60 size aerobatic plane. They go from the LT-40 to a 40 size Extra or 60 size Cap 232. 100% of them smack it within a couple of weeks and they go away sad.

Why not progress through the hobby at a more reasonable rate? Fly a LOT of different planes and learn how different wings stall and behave. You aren't really doing yourself any favors by tackling a hot rod plane like that so fast. There's a lot you still don't know about flying and crashing planes.

I'm not saying you can't fly it. Hell, go for it! But, when you loose a few thousand $$$ worth of Extra or Edge and you get kinda down with the hobby, go and get a 4* and start having fun again.

Just an opinion
