Default RE: BEST LOW-WING 2nd PLANE

I will chime in on this one. My second was the Tiger 60. I really liked it and it was a tough airframe. You need something tough even after you consider yourself as qualified after solo. You won't believe the things you do to your second plane.

However.. I must agree. The Four Star (both the 40 and the 60) are fine aircraft. Very easy to fly and very forgiving.

The difference, the obvious difference between the two is that the Tiger is a trike-gear (nose wheel) setup that can be converted to a tail dragger. The Four Stars are both tail draggers. That amounts to the difference between the two, although you might find that the Tiger is slightly heavier than the Four Star and this may give the advantage over to the Four Star.

No matter, both are great and your choice of the Four Star 60 is a good solid decision. Enjoy flying it!!
