The Avistar might be the one for you. It has the trike gear which is helpfull for takeoff and landing, it has a semi semetrical airfoil so it is aerobatically capable (flat bottomed wings fall out of the sky when you go inverted),

Best of all, it is a quality plane for low bucks. Covered in real Monocoat, not some cheap junky covering, so it will be tougher, easyer to fix, and will look a lot better for a longer time. the only thing you will need to do is reenforce the main landing gear. After a few landings the tail tends to sag. It is a fantastic trainer that thinks it is a sport plane. perfect for an advanced beginner.

PS. Go for a good .46 engine. 40 is barely enough for most "40 sized" planes. you will be glad you did. take offs are easy, tuning is more forgiving..... Far better to use throtle or prop choice to controll speed, than to limit engine size. My favorites are Irvine and OS. A little more expensive than the rest, but keep in mind it may end up on 2 or 3 planes over its life time, amd there is nothing more frustrating than an engine that dies a lot or delivers inconsistent power.

Good luck and welcome to the greatest sport in the galaxy!
