It not only makes a good second plane, but overall is a good flying plane for an everyday flyer. One of my students has one and it's a very easy flyer - I was quite impressed by how well it flew. It did loose the canopy while I was flying it, but that was due to him not gluing in the front canopy retaining dowels. Even with the canopy missing I couldn't tell any difference in the flight characteristics. His has functional flaps but I didn't have a chance to fly/land with them.

While the .46 AX is a perfect match for it, the one I flew has a .55 AX. Enough power for some good vertical's but no too much that its overpowering.
