I'm in that process now for a 3rd plane.

To Bryris

I'd recommend a 4* for a second plane. I have the 40 size and I love it! Everyone told me to buy a 4*. So many people suggested it I almost didn't get it!! Just because EVERYONE has one. But there's a reason for that. It's an awesome plane. I'm very pleased I took everyones advice and bought it. The 4* is a great plane. It'll be the perfect step up from your trainer. It's a very capable, yet forgiving plane. Tracks like it's on rails compared to a trainer!!! I believe I'll always have one on hand to fly.
After X-mas I'm going to buy a 3rd plane. I think it's going to be the Edge. Either that, or one of the caps. (To someone who might know... How do the cap 232 and Edge compare to each other) Anyways. Hold off on the Edge. Get yourself a 4*!! You won't be sorry.
