It depends. What was/is your first plane? What is your age group? (this matters, because if you're my age...an Extra 300 would be a little much for your reflexes to handle with that little experience). Why do you want a basically unstable model for your second plane? I know that some Extra models have been described as flying like a trainer, but if they do, they are not real Extra's. I would reccomend either the 4 star, or the Venture 60 from Bruce Tharpe. It is a better building plane than the 4 star, and the look is similar.
