The Super Sportster flies heavier then the Four Star or Venture of equivalent size. Not as forgiving, but if you buddy box with an instructor for the first few times you take it out, you'll probably catch on pretty quick. The Super Sportster will better prepare you to fly the heavier warbirds than the 4* or Venture will. I feel that the 4* and Venture fly better, but if you are looking for something that will train you to fly warbirds, the SS may help you out more.
