RE: Thinking about my next plane
A VERY experienced flyer at one of my fields has that model. It's a real squirrel. Even he has some trouble with it on occasion.
On the other hand, you will never improve if you don't push past your comfort zone. (This would be a big jump. Try a slower transition).
AND ALWAYS seek the advice of SUPERIOR flyers. You can gab with the guys and hang-out as much as you like, but fly with people who are better than you are at this...as much as possible.
