You can't go wrong with a 4 *, my second plane was a 4* 60 and I still fly it today. Not only do I still fly it but alot! It's a blast! There are a few differences with it, but its very stable and easy to land. Take off's are a little different due to it being a tail dragger, but not hard at all (just rememeber the rudder during take off). Besides you gotta learn to fly a low wing and a tail dragger some time, might as well be now. Trust me you'll love the 4 *'s, not to say that the other options rean't good but as you know if you did a search on the 4 * not many people have bad things to say abou them. One tip it you do get a 4*, sheet the leading edge, easy to do and won't take too much time, I didn't and wish I would have just so it was more substantial (sp).
Let me know if you have any other questions. Also think about a .91 four stroke if you go with a 4 * 60.
