People have told me U can do's are a great second plane. By thw way, some people will flame you for this. I personally won't because i was in your shoes not too long ago.
What do you mean? You still are in his shoes!!!!
Expo, the Ugly stick is a great plane. Build the wing with no dihedral and you will love it. I have been flying almost 30 years and have always had an ugly stick in the hanger. They are just fun!
The U can do floats enough that you could get by with it if you want it, but make sure you get some help with it. Set it up on low rates and learn to fly it, then slowly add throws till it gets fun.
Either way, you will be able to fly it. I kinda feel like it would be a toss up. You would be ok with either as long as you had help.
