RE: 2nd Plane
Stay away from the instant gratification ARF [BARF] LEAD SLEDS and get a MORRIS HOBBIES SUDOKOI. It is a nice looking profile if there is such a thing. The profile CAP looks good also but I don't have any first hand experience with it. Morris sells ARFS that are covered nicer than anything that I've ever done, but to fully appreciate the wisdom that goes into one of these planes you have to build it yourself. I had a smile on my face that I couldn't get rid of for a month after the first time I did a climbing inverted flat spin with the SUDOKOI/ROSSI 45 combo that they sell. That's my 2cents worth.
