How would a UCANDO be for a second plane? It has a lower wing loading then my trainer! Also I belive i have a great engine for the plane An ST-51. I have a great instructor and have lots of trainer time.

If your instructor is willing.....go for it. I'd recommend a 'Stik' first or maybe a 4-Star, but the choice is yours.....by the way, can you fly that trainer inverted - while doing a figure 8? What about flying the AMA 'Novice' pattern?

What is an AMA 'Novice' pattern?

Ice- As long as your "plugged in" until you are comfortable I don't see a huge problem with that... Though I also recommend the SIG 4*, a cheap ugly-stik, etc.

Make sure the CG is on the conservative side, the throws are low, and give it he**!
