I also started on an Aerobird. Love it and still fly it today. I have expanded mostly into gliders, but you seem more interested in electrics, so here is a list to consider.

MORE ADVANCED PLANES

After you master a starter plane, you can move on to one of these more
aerobatic and 3D flying electrics. Here are a few planes that would be lots
of fun and would represent a real challenge. Most have videos associated with
their links.
