Unfortunately, they are not really good for a second plane.

I would suggest the SIG 4* 60 or the Lanier Stinger 60 with reduced throws for a second plane.

For a non floating plane you need to have a high wing loading. This means the plane is going to land substantially faster than you are presently used to AND, in most cases, the plane is going to be VERY UNFORGIVING - in short, you make a mistake and you have toothpicks.
