RE: witch is a better second plane?
If you have the Tiger 60 , go ahead and build it .. You`ll learn alot from it and may decide to move on to something a little more demanding than a SlowPoke.
I`m building a SlowPoke right now and have the wing done .Was looking for a fun sport plane and really like the way the SlowPoke looks. And I have seen it refered to as a low wing trainer, but have`nt flown one , yet , so I can not comment on how it flys. But if you like to build , this is a fairly easy kit and it a pretty good buy for the money.
If it was me , I`d build both .lol
