To be blunt, there's probably a REASON "this kind of thread" doesn't exist.

It can't.

You simply can NOT say "Warbirds do this, and require skill A, B, and C" with any level of accuracy. You may make some vague generalization about what MOST warbirds do, or what skills MOST pilots use to handle the things MOST warbirds do...but you simply can not lump a group of planes together with any level of consistency.

The moment you do, you're asking for trouble...because you're inviting that 'ready for the next step" pilot to go out and presume an airplane does _____________ and does not do _________ without any sort of research beyond "It's an aerobat, and that thread on RCU said..."

Even more frustratingly, the SAME airplane can be completely different depending simply on setup. One builder/assembler may hand you a sport plane that flies as docile as any trainer, while another might hand you the same airplane with a 720 degree per second roll rate and the CG an inch aft of "recommend" location. You're going to have two completely different experiences flying them, and NEITHER experience will, in any way, define what 'sport airplanes" are or do.

The whole point of most of the posts in this thread is precisely this:

The answer to "what is next" is to learn WHY "most sport airplanes do ____" and why some don't.

It really doesn't matter how many times or ways you ask for a list of "general information about many different types of RC models"...there ain't no such critter. For every single claim you, or anyone, can make about any "type of RC models", I can point out, show you, purchase, or setup an airplane of that "type" that is exactly the opposite of what you claim.
