RE: Second plane--skip one?
I'd definately suggest going with the 4* series for your second plane. Large wing area, low wing, good looks, and flys great, but will slow down and land like a trainer. Built straight from the box it is a great plane, but with a few little modifications, it'll do just about everything you could want it to do. I loved mine and will probably build another one after I get tired of my Sig SE
