I think that your question can be answered only if we (I) had a bit more info on your flying experience and what type of flying you like doing. If you are transitioning from an electric trainner then yes most defintaly you will have your hands full. A 25 size plane such as the one you are refering to I can only guess thats its a .25 size if a .32 is over powering it. Is going to be a handful, they are not as forgiving as electrics are and can get quite squirrley on the ground as well as in the air due to there size. To me a 3 channel glow that small just seems like lot of plane for a beginner as well as an intermediate. Without alerions there isnt a whole lot of trouble you can get into with a plane that small and recover in enough time to save it. I think even I would have an issue with it and I have been flying for 10 years IMO. Just some advice the more steps you take to getting into a full function 4 channel plane the longer it will take you to get there. Go get a nice 40 size trainner with a .46 size glow engine in it semi semetrical wing foil, hook up with a buddy box and a person to help you train and learn that way, you will be much more satisfied in the end. IMHO thats the way to go. Good luck.
