Default RE: 2nd Plane, When?

Actually, being able to fly your trainer inverted for long periods of time will make you a better pilot on other planes. Most trainers can be flown inverted for multiple circuits of the field. Too often pilots will move away from their trainer before they have even started to exlore it's capabilities. A trainer will do more aerobatics than most think it will. Yes you have to work at them a little bit more, but this makes for a better pilot in the long run. Because it's the pilot performing a manuever and not the plane. While I can't do it, I have seen a trainer do a full rolling circle!!! [X(]
