Jburry, I don't mind being beaten on, it's probably what I need

Flyx, I crashed my plane(s) because I was trying one move after another, not planning anything out. With the Nexstar, I was doing barrel rolls, lower and lower, with no relaxing flying time in between, and the last one just seemed to take up a lot of vertical height. I missed by about 5 feet, maybe less. The Avistar I was just not planning things out, and the plane got a little far away (to my right), and I tried to do something fancy to turn the plane around and got disoriented, while being only 1 mistake high. It got into a dive and I chose the wrong direction for elevator.

I guess I just want another plane, to have two in my hangar. I don't need the next in progression from my Dolphin yet, and don't want something too similar, so the high wing aerobat seemed like the likely choice.

I don't know why I think the trainers were boring. I thought they were very easy to fly, and I like a challenge. Probably because I didn't learn how to master them yet. I was annoyed at the dihedral fighting the rolls in my cuban 8's. If there was a nice looking trainer, again, I would get it. Sure you can't see it when it's that high, but really a nice low pass once in a while to see my plane flying really brings me some satisfaction. I really enjoy scale looks.

I just don't see the advantage of going back to a trainer when I have a 'low wing trainer'. What can I learn from a trainer that I can't learn on a Dolphin?

So does it make sense for me to get a Decathlon or something?

Thanks a lot for all the input.
