Default RE: Second Plane recommendation

Could you fly the Extra? Possibly, if you kept the control throws low, kept the throttle back and you are very careful in how you fly it but I wouldn't recommend it.

The more likely scenario is that the plane, being very maneuverable, does something you don't expect and it crashes. It has happened to me and a lot of others who jumped up too quickly.

I'd strongly recommend something intermediate such as the 4-Star, GP Rapture, Tiger-2, Pulse-XT or similar. You'll learn a lot and make the experience with the Extra a lot more enjoyable when you finally get there.
