Default RE: From Trainer to next Plane

My second plane, after the high wing trainer, was the World Models Skyraider Mach 2. A rather inexpensive low wing 40, tail dragger. I put a 46LA on it instead of the reccomended 40 and have flown the mess out of it. A 46FX would be even better. The basic ARF was $69 at LHS, but has since gone up to $79. IMHO, I would learn to fly something along this lines before moving into something with flaps. This has been the best money I have spent on something in along time.....this plane flys great...had to add a little nose weight to get it to balalnce.....but for learning basic aerobatics, I couldn't ask for a better plane. Good luck with your next one.
