Someone at my field said that I could probably skip the whole second plane. I soloed realy quickly, and I've already started trying aerobatics my trainer can't held to. The guy said because of my age, and the quickness i progressed on my trainer, I could skip the 4* 60 or other second planes. What do you all think of this? I mean what are the unique features of the second plane? Like for a trainer its stability, slow landing. He said if I work all winter on a second plane on my simulator, I could start up next summer on a third plane with shorter throws.

Basically, Im asking what is learned on a second plane, that couldnt be done on a simulator, and makes it necessary to have? The guy said if I work hard on the simulator, it will save me alot of money in the long run, because thats one less plane (Yet, its one more plane if the "Third" type plane finds itself in the trash.)
