My vote... Get an Ultra Stick and fly the daylights out of it. Great second plane, easy to fly, and will do most stunts as your flying progresses.
My personalidea for a 60 sized plane would be an Ultra Stick 40 with a 60 on it. That is still my every day flyer. I built mine with the quad flap option, which is hugely entertaining.
OKPR - you're a sick puppy - but it's a really fun idea.
How about a Great Planes Big Stick .60 with a 90 size 2-stroke or 4-stroke.
Sick...WHAT????
Actually it is a great flying plane, but I should explain myself first. I fly at 5000' so I need to power my planes a little more than the minimumengine requirement for them to fly well.The FX61 on my Ultra Stick 40 is modified with a Performance Specialties piston and cylinder, higher compression, larger carb, and a Jett muffler, all of which gives it a touch more power than a stock engine a sea level. It turns a 13x5 at 14,800 on the ground and is a draggy plane, so it really does not go very fast. I fly it at 1/2 throttle most of the time and it has unlimited verticle. This plane has great mannors and isvery easy to fly. I stand by my recommendation, this would be a great second plane. I have had this one for years; I always take something really fast to the field, but I am never without this plane.
