Learned on an Avistar and then got a now discontinued Kyosho PT-19 as a combo first taildragger and semi-scale warbird. Really like it. Picked up a 4*40 from a club member just to have something else to fly. Got to say I now know why the 4* series is an all time RC classic and arguably one of the top 4 or 5 designs in model aircraft EVER. Personally, I think everybody in RC ought to own and fly one for that reason alone! Having said all that, I`d get a 60. Bigger, easier to see, handles wind better, etc.
