RE: 2nd plane suggestions
You wont be dissapointed in a Stik.
I have 3 of them, mini Ultra stick electric, 40 size Ugly Stick (soon to have floats for float flying) and a 60 size ultra stik.
When the wind is too much for anything else I dare to fly...one of these 3 planes are what I go to for all day fun on a windy day. Either them, or a F27C Stryker.
