Hi Warnberg,

That was a very smart choice. The thing about flying the 330 is that you have to mentally fly ahead of the plane. You need to know what you want to do before you do it and determine whether your plane is doing it. Also, you need to have enough experience to know what can happen if your plane is not doing what you want it and be able to correct it quick enough. An example of this is one guy at our field that outgrew his trainer and was doing all types of crazy manuevers with it. He and everybody knew it was time for him to move up to a second plane and he got a Venus 40. He flew the plane great but almost lost it on landing by stalling it in the turn before final approach. He knew how to fly but did not have enough experience to realize that the Venus had a higher stall speed than the trainer. He was high enough and recovered, made another pass and greased the landing. You will love the Rapture 40. THere are several build threads here at RCU that I suggest you read to aid you in building the plane. It is a easy plane to build but there are a few building quirks that a person starting out in kit building might not pick up until it is too late anf you have to buy some extra balsa to fix. The build threads catch these quirks fine. You also might not experience them either. I agree with all the planes that people suggested here. My second plane was a 40-size Pulse XT that performs nicely at high and low speed flight.

Happy flying and soft landings!
