RE: 2nd plane
The best 2nd plane I think is the World Models "Skyraider mach-2". Do a search and you will see that everyone that has one loves'em. You will see I have a bunch of posts around for the mach-2 and think it can't be beat. Also it only costs 69.99 and is an ARF. You can not build a kit for that price and the thing flies just great. I can land the mach-2 better than my fathers trainer.
If you have any interest feel free to PM me.
