Default I really need help deciding

Huh? Sportster too fast?

The Super Sportsters have a fat symmetrical wing. It is almost the same they used on their Trainer 40.

They will fly nice an slow. I had the .20 size for 16 years. It was my first non-trainer. One of my trainers was the GP Tainer 40.

Loved the plane. Built the SS Bipe and flew that for years. Now have built giant scale versions:

Giant SPortster: 89" wing G-62, 17 lbs.
Giant SS bipe: 66" wing, Q42, 15 lbs.

These are easy to fly planes. Due to their thick airfoil they have a wide speed range. They are responsive, but with small throws they are easy to fly. I actually trained one student on a SS .40.

The Dazzler is basically the same. It has a relatively thick symmetrical wing.

IMO the sportster looks much better Both would be fine.
