Expo,

I would do the Stik and not skip the second plane stage. I still fly a 4* 60 and that is after owning a 4*40 and getting rid of it and moving to 1/4 scale and up. I missed my 4* and went back to one because it feels really good to plant my butt in a chair and just bore holes in the sky for several tanks plus shoot nothing but touch and goes.

I really enjoy the bigger planes but going back to my "second" plane is always fun.

I'd go with the Stik but get the bigger size of just about any of them if you have the funds. They are more fun than you are allowed to have.

A UCD or a Twist could be a good second plane but you need to have certain skills down pat and are completely comfortable with inverted flight, rudder control and a small host of others. On a personal note. I had the 4*40 and the Twist all in the same day. I maidened the 4* first ands then the Twist. I prked the Twist and did not fly it for several weeks and flew the snot out of the 4*.

As I have said before. What may be easy to fly for one person may not be easy to fly for another.
