Default RE: a 2nd plane for me

The U-Can-Do is a wonderful 3D flyer, but it is a purposely built light plane, so you'll find it to be very weak in terms of taking abuse.

Usually your second plane gets the most abuse so the UCD is not a great choice IMHO. The same is true with the Frenzy.

The Pulse 60 is a good candidate, but novices tend to rip out the gear quite quickly and repeatedly.

Consider instead a GP Big Stik which is MUCH more rugged than any of those planes and a blast to fly.

I can hover and torque roll mine btw....

It is a great fun fly plane and you'll love it's flight characteristics.

It is trivially easy to repair, lands easily ( sorry GB but IMHO it is MUCH easier than the Pulse to land and because of the long tail has no yaw at run-up, we are using them as primary trainers next year because of their easy landings... ), loves high winds, can be used as an engine break-in platform, and does just about anything you would want.

You'll never grow tired of it.
