RE: New Piolot in need of advice.
Its flight characteristics, ive never flown a .40 size Deca, but have flown a 1/4 scale its definitely not a good second airplane. You must be very familiar with use of rudder and aileron combined, they also have a mean tip stall, slow her down too much and a wing tip will drop like a rock.
I may be wrong though, maybe they designed those characteristics out of it on the Seagull
