RE: Second Plane advice
ditto to all of the advice, just because it is the same size does not mean it will fly the same. the biggest thing, besides being a low wing, is the airfoil on the wing itself. your trainer had a wide, flat bottom, very stable airfoil with alot of lift. the cap has a thin, symetrical, tapered wing. it needs alot of speed to make lift. that is the worst combonation for a new pilot. the add also says " a good second low wing" that means a good plane after your first low wing. it doesnt say " good second plane" I would spend that hundred and get a stick. then a four star 40. IMHO a high wing intermediate plane should be mastered before a low wing period.
