Would agree. The best three second steppers IMHO are 4 Star 40 or 60, Tiger II or 60 and Venture 60. A 60 sized planes will be a bit smoother but these 40s are fine. The Venture is kit only but the kit and instructions are great.

You are talking thick wings here and easy landings near trainer slow. The Tigers have trike gear which may help. You can learn a lot of basic aerobatics at a slower speed. When ready, move the CG back and set up full control throws for some pretty decent performance.

I am bailing out of trainers for a Venture 60.
