Default RE: 2nd plane; low wing

The 4* may be the better choice if you need to stick with very slow landings. The 4* actually needs to be landed slower than a trainer. If the plane is moving forward any faster than a walk it won't lose altitude, it just keeps cruising along. This actually makes it more tricky to land if it gets windy out. Slow down too much when its windy and the plane will suddenly get flipped backwards. The Tiger 2 has a has a more positive glide rate with throttle off which makes it more predictable to land, windy or not!
