Hi again Jordan,

This will be my last .02 cents worth on this issue. To address your issue of "buddy boxing". Buddy boxing is somthing that is normally done with an instructor and a beginner flyer with a trainer plane only. If you have to fly the SE with an instructor flyer to bail you out of a possible crash, what do you think this should tell you? It should tell you that maybe you are not yet ready for this plane. Ultimately, it is your decision. Please keep in mind the risks of not only crashing your plane, but losing control and hitting someone or something. This plane in much more manueverable than a trainer.
