RE: Best Flying Sport Plane??
I certainly agree with the Ugly Stick type planes.
I taught a guy to fly with a Ultra Stick 40 tail dragger. It took longer but then he seemed to be able to fly most anything. I let him fly my LT-40 tail dragger from starting it up and he seemed to not have any trouble with it being different from a Ultra Stick. He then flew my Slow Poke and seemed to handle it well also.
