Akschu - Personally, I love an airplane that lands slow (That's one reason I put flaps on my Twist). As a beginning pilot, slow landing speeds will only make you a better pilot. You said that you are flying a a small field. It sounds to me like a slow landing speed is an asset. The hotter then landing speeds, the more airspace you'll need to set up on your approach. As a second plane, there are many - I recommend the Aerobat, 4-Stars, Ugly Stiks, the Tiger 2, and maybe the Sig Astro-Hog. Many beginners are ready to upgrade to faster planes with better aerobatic performance and thinking that their skills are up to par, but really just need to upgrade to a plane that will allow them to expand their experiance levels. I recommend upgrading slowly and let the learning curve mature. Having an insturctor to help you out is never a bad idea either. Just my .02.
