Bret,
This is something you and your instructor will need to decide together. Given that i learned to fly on a Goldberg Extra (no trainer) I can't exactly tell you not to fly this as your second plane! :-)

The extra is not a bad handling aircraft by any means, it is just much more aerobatic -- and therefore less forgiving of beginner's errors. It can definitely be used as your second aircraft WITH A GOOD INSTRUCTOR AND A LOT OF PATIENCE.

Sincerely,
Mrs. AnnMarie Cross
