RE: 2nd Airplane
I think you could try any of the CG tigers. A friend of mine bought a 60 sized with a .91 fourstroke and it's VERY easy to fly..... I could fly it before I even soloed! Also it will do basic aerobatics such as loops and VERY slow rolls...Or faster rolls if you prefer. Also with a master airscrew 14x6 prop it has nearly unlimited vertical and will hover for 2-5 seconds. Knife edge flight is OK but not great. It lands inclredibly slow <with out flaperons> and in a slight breeze down the runway it's fun to harrier all the way down to landing or a tough and go....
