RE: Second Plane Advice
I'm doing right now what you wanted to do rider_89, with mixed emotions about it. I've only flown my trainer a couple of times, but am putting together an Ultra Stick 40 with an Irvine .53 in it. It's supposed to be an awesome plane, but the ARF kit sure has it's bugs. I wish I'd have held off to buy a 2nd plane. Now that I see some of the guys way cool planes at the club I wish I'd have got one of them. My plan of getting a high wing, fairly sturdy, easy to fly, aerobatic stick was a good one. It's just that I'm picky, and what I chose to build takes some serious modifications for a newbie to build right. Also, after a couple of flights on the trainer (Xtra Easy 2) I'm seeing how it is capable of a lot more than I initially thought. I won't out grow it, or be ready for a US 40 with a big engine anytime soon. - Joe
