I 2nd the Ultra Stik 40 choice. it was my 2nd plane after the RCM Trainer 40. I love the Ultra Stik, especially playing with the flaps. I like diving/landing from 500 ft and flaring at aroung 5-6 ft for a smooth landing. Or I just fly at walking pace in the runway with the crow function. A crowd pleaser. I put a Saito 72 and have almost unlimited vertical.
