I wouldn't worry about your second plane just yet....you just soloed last week and a trainer can actually be alot of relaxing fun once you have alot of stick time under your belt. In our small flying group there is usually 8-10 of us out at the airport (yes it's a REAL airport with a 5000 foot x 60 foot paved runway) on any given saturday or sunday and of all the planes and heli's there are normally 5-6 trainers there. Of all the guys flying there the ones with the most stick time (just about 3 1/2 years now) are still playing around with the trainers. Increase the control surface travel - take the dihedral out of the wing - convert it to a tail dragger all good options to make a trainer perform a bit different and keep you interested in flying it. Don't be so quick to give up on a trainer and move onto other faster better handling planes....after all it IS a trainer.
