I agree with all the above. Take it from me and my experieance I learned on a trainer hobico 40, I soloed in three days, Flew that for two years. Then jumped right into a 40 size spitfire... MISTAKE All I could do with that is tip stall, rebuild, tip stall, rebuild Finally flew that for a year. Decided to buy a tiger 2 for more experieance on a low wing, That was the best investment I made. I flew that every day for a month, now I can fly with confidence my spitfire, my tiger 2, and my most recent a 72"ws corsair which by the way crashed on take off due to a improper needle setting. Don't do what I did do what everybody suggest, and I will be a lot cheaper and more fun!
