You folks might want to let the OP know about diving in the hurri and spits.I like to fly low in my death trap and when I see a high spit or hurri, I test their basic knowledge of their craft by pulling them down to me. If they do not know the basics of their craft it becomes evident when I turn hard and they try to follow. Both the hurri and spit will shed their wings in a heartbeat when at high speed. I wave as they go by immitating a lawn dart.That being said.... both are good planes to learn in. The Spit probably being more forgiving for mistakes. Take your time and mind your speed. Use your throttle.
