RE: choosing second plane
I realize that you pretty much have your mind made up and are only going to listen to the guys who support you, but you would be wise in heeding the advice of so many who have been in the hobby much longer than you. A 60 size stick with a .90 four stroke in it would keep you amused/excited/eager for as long as you fly it. Better looking planes like the Four Stars would do the same. And even better looking planes like the Kaos would thrill you for years. All planes that are capable of doing anything you want to do, yet very forgiving of mistakes. Bit I get the sense that you had your mind made up before you made the original post as to what direction you want to go and all the advice from all the guys who have been there and done that is not going to change your mind, so go for it. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope you don't even put so much as a scratch on your next plane, but history is against you. It will give the economy a boost though.
