Default RE: Suggestions for third plane

I would get a plane that a more experienced flyer at your field already has much experience with. Things get much more complicated and critical set up adjustments must be right the first time in the more advanced planes. Are you familiar with the difference in change position of pushrod in control arms vs use of electronic end points, expo, dual rates, minimal servo size, flight test and trim procedures, aileron differential. Tip stall in another airplane killer that must be dealt with properly. I have a Cap with a crunched nose that I thought I was ready to move up to. Whatever you get, look at it as a trainer where you have much to learn.
