Hi stedge: I would suggest the Goldberg Tiger 40 or 60 or Sig 4* 40 or 60 as a 2nd plane. Or at the risk of being flamed again, as a first plane as long as you use a buddy box and instructor. Even as a second plane I would suggest a buddy box and at least a pilot with experience on one of these planes for first 1 or 2 flights, as they are more responsive to your input. The first time I flew my tiger 2 inverted I almost crashed because I fed in to much down elevator being used to my LT-40 and stalled it. Lucky for me my instructor who was just standing there waiting his turn with my new plane, got the transmitter from me just in time. Both of these planes 40 or 60 size, land as if on glass smooooooth, and IMHO are easier to fly than a trainer because they go where you point them without the extra control input you have to feed a trainer to get less than desirable results for minor aerobatics. Of course this is my opinion.
