RE: Looking for the right plane.
Biged, Brett is, I believe, looking for his second plane (?). I think he indicates that his only flying experience is with a high wing Mach 1. My question would be, " Should he first get some more experience with a more " traditional " second plane, perhaps a Tiger, 4*, or something of that ilk?" I have never flown any of the planes you mention, so I would defer judgement on those. Just would hate to see someone get hooked up with something a bit over their heads, especially someone starting out.
