Probably not what you want to hear, but I would also advise a different plane for a second. I have seen many want to move to an extra or an edge as a second, and they crash shortly there after. One guy built another edge as his third and crashed it quickly and then quit citing expense as his problem. It was more of a problem of being in way over his head. If you move to a plane that snaps easy as a second, you won't have the experience to know what to do and WILL crash it sooner than later.

The somethin extra will teach you a great deal and isn't so big. If you get a large edge or extra and get behind it, which you will, you stand the chance of hitting someone or something trying to save it from a crash and flying it into the pits or other.

I know it looks easy, but if you try to jump too fast, you could get in way over your head. I would suggest getting on the sim if you have to have a plane like that and learn to throw the high performance planes around on high rates at slow speeds so you get used to how to get out of situations the torque is going to put you in. Stick time is the only way you will ever get good enough to fly those. The more stick time you get, the better you will be.

Don't get in over your head.
