Default GP Cessna or GP Spacewalker

I would like to know which of these two planes is the easiest to fly? I have been flying my Avistar 40 for a whole season now and I am pretty comfortable with it. Tower had an awesome sale on the Cessna 182 so I bought it on an impulse. It was the same instance with the Spacewalker and I had to have it.

I have not yet assembled them and I cannot decide which one will make a better Second Plane. I know a lot of you have these planes so your opinions would really help me.

I just bought an Enya .52 four Stroke for the Cessna last week and ordered an O.S 91 Surpass II for the Spacewalker today. Any tips or advice is more than welcome.

Stick to the cessna, it will teach you a lot more than your trainer did, but I think your not ready for the spacewalker yet. Plus it will give you the time to learn four stroke tuning on something smaller with out fear of cooking the bigger .91. Get a tach, it's the only thing you can use to set your four strokes. Hard to judge 8500 rpm from 9500 rpm, if your use to two stroke sound. The cessna will,teach you sink rate and stall characteristics

I can't tell you much about the cessna, but the spacewalker is an absolute beauty. Looks great, flies great.

I had the spacewalker (sold it!~() and it was so fun. I flew the *&^$ out of it. It had a saito 100 that I hated but when it ran was so fun. It would do so many manuvers and was a real floater. It was my 3rd plane.
