I too have an Alpha! I went with a SIG Midstar as my second and what a BLAST!!! I also bought a JR 6102 and love it. I still take my Alpha to the field with me and alternate. If it is too windy I fly only the trainer and catch-up on my landing skills. Got a 4*60 almost done for #3, and a TF P47 gold for #4. That midstar will do almost anything I ask it to do. It would probably hover if I set it up for that but I'm not into 3D. If you are in to building you wont be dissapointed. If ARF's are your style you could go straight to the 4*40 or 60, or even the Hangar 9 Arrow. But I think that would get boring too, but I could be wrong! Hope this helps. Here is a pic!
