jcankur,

I think you are absolutely right in most cases. I am glad I went with the 4* first and then the SE. The 4* is really a low wing trainer if you build it stock with the dihedral set in the instructions. The SE on the other hand, is a little less forgiving due to it's mid-wing design, and ZERO dihedral. I will probably build another 4* though, this time a 60 and put my Saito FA-100 in it, but I will always have a SE to throw around.
