I have a tricycle gear plane, but it's not a trainer according to quite a few members at my club. In fact, I got a lot of comments that my GP Cessna is considerably more difficult to fly than a Sig Four-Star, or even a Hangar 9 Twist. OK, so beings that I am starting to get used to a plane that requires good throttle management and rudder control during all phases of flight, would I be ready to transition to a tail dragger such as the Sig? How about the Twist? My main interest here would be in getting a reduced work load during my time at the sticks. Would one of these two planes make my life a bit easier?

Hossbog: Don't get a Funtana just yet. Trust me, you don't want the headache. CA, balsa, epoxy, and covering are chores that can get very old, very soon. I'm just afraid that you'll be spending a lot of time at the bench with it. I think with my Cessna, I've learned enough about repairs that I'm probably ready to start, and complete one or two kits. I highly doubt a scratch build would be out of the question for me [:@].
