skul,

I don't understand why Goldberg would say "if you have experience flying a 60 size trainer." It should just say "if you have experience flying a four channel trainer." Whether it is 1/2A, or huge, it's a trainer and you learned how to fly with it.

If you're already comfortable with the SSE & Advance, I don't think there's a compelling reason to get a Tiger before the UCD or Showtime.
