the fun 51, super sportster, rv-4,t craft, spacewalker. Are any of these good 2nd planes?
please respond.

I'm not sure about all of those planes, but it seems like most of them are low wing planes that would not be good for a second airplane. I would recommend a stick type plane such as the Great Planes Big Stick or Hangar 9 Super Stick.

If you are dead set on a low wing second plane, you really can't beat any of the 4* series. The 4*-40 and 4*-60 are really nice flyers.

They handle like a trainer and ease in on the landing.

When you are really comfortable, you can increae the control throws and have a truly agile aerobatic trainer.

Anyway, that is my $0.02.

Take care

I would suggest a search as there are many opinions already posted. This has helped me in the past.

Check out the shoulder wing planes that are often sold as second planes,after you trainer.The Sig Mid Star 40 comes tp mind,easy to build and a good next step up.The wing is a little lower but not on the bottom to give you a little margin for error.Most of the kit makers have a plane in this configuration.Just my 2 cents worth.

great planes easy sport a good mid-wing plane...

You will love the RV-4. I just wish they made it in a 80+ ws version

You have picked some nice planes and most of them shouldn't be a problem for you. Having said that let me say that all "second type planes" are much more responsive than your trainer and will fly faster and turn quicker than you expect. I don't really see what the big deal is about a low wing for a second plane. If you have good stick time behind you then this only takes 1 flight to get used to. For the first flight on any of these I would try and buddy box for a flight or 2. The intitial response rate may scare you for a few seconds until you realize that it actually makes the plane easier to fly than your trainer, then you be set and having a ball. The Taylor craft looks cool but isn't much different from your trainer performance wise. The space walker is pretty laid back also. The fun 51 can be a handfull for a low time pilot. I would leave this for a 3d type plane. The super sportster or the rv-4 are both nice. I would go with the Super Sporster. IT will fly really fast at full throttle, is aerobatic, and will land as slow as your trainer. A Carl Goldberg Tiger is also high on my 2nd plane list. IF you get in trouble, just remember that the plane will not drop like a brick if you throttle down. If things get crazy, just slow it down for a while until your nerves settle and then throttle up a bit. Hope this helps, Fast!
