Default RE: trainer to 1/4 scale

I'm going to have to throw my hat into the same ring on this one. Whether it's a 46-60 size or a 1/4 scale, a Cessna isn't a good choice for a second plane. As Bill said, you're going to need to learn how to use flaps for a Cessna and that is a skill that does take some getting used to. Agreed on the point that a high wing does not equal tame as a trainer. Some high wing planes like a Decathlon are all out acrobats that are used in competition. I'd recommend getting a 4-star or a tiger 2 and get some flying time in. Once your skills improve then you can think about going to your Cessna.
