RE: Low Wing or High Wing for Second Plane
If you have the time and space, the Four Star is a good entry kit to build too. My second plane is a kit Four Star .40. It was an easy transition from my Tower .40 trainer to the Four Star. Toughest part is ground handling. I have to hold full up elevator to maintain control at mid speeds on the ground. I find it easier than my trainer to set down gently without bouncing. I've had 4 deadsticks due to a fuel line issue. Control is and its long glide got me back to the runway every time without incident.
