Do you have access to an experienced pilot that can buddy box you on the SSE and help set up low rates? If yes, then go for it. The SSE has no bad habbits like snapping when stalled and that is what gets newbies on their second plane more than anything. It's easy to take off and land. Where you may get in trouble is if you get the ARF it looks almost the same on top as it does on bottom and it can roll so fast it is easy to get confused/disoriented. Keep it high enough when your horsing around to recover from a full 2 second loss of orientation.
