RE: First Plane
I don't think you'll crash it, as long as you keep the rates down and the instructor is quick enough should you get into trouble. A high wing is inherintly stable, by virtue of its center of gravity. The big difference with the Ultra Stick, is that it will fly inverted just as well as right side up. It will roll faster and loop tighter, for both inner and outer loops. Yet, it will fly and land fairly slow. It is also among the planes that are more forgiving of mistakes; it's just not going to be AS forgiving as a trainer.
