Have you looked into the hangar 9 p51 PTS? I have seen newbies fly them flawlessey, and the good thing is once you master it you can remove the wing droops, upgrade the engine and have a wicked warbird that not only looks nice but has flaps I believe too. I do not have the knowledge of most of the members here but my friend has over 30 planes and has a PTS p51 and said it actually flew better than his first high wing trainer plane.
Uh-oh... now come the naysayers...
IMHO it's not a bad second plane ( or even a first ) with a few caveats, and it does scale up nicely into a sports plane...
A Pulse XT is a bit more forgiving though the gear are a bit weak.
