Hi I also started this hobby with a hobbico superstar. And I was in the same position you are in now what to get, what do I really want to do with a plane. I came to the conclusion that I wanted to do aerobatics. I looked hard and I made what everybody else thought was a leap to a greatplanes extra 300 40 size. I first put the os la 40 in the thing way to tail heavy. Now I have a Saito 80 but what I should of done is gone with a os 75 for the real power. But it does have verticle and I love it. If you want to make the jump it is not a problem. Some other people who respond to this post may recomend that you get an stick of some kind you can go to www.horizonhobby.com to look at them you can use the same engine you have now. You may be into scale flying and you could easily fly a cub. It all depends on what you want to do.
