For an inexpensive 2nd plane that will fly very nice with a standard .40, try the Hobbico Brightstar. I have flown this plane and for the money you can't beat it! Please use caution when picking a second plane. Some people can move up to aerobatic planes very quickly. As an instructor, this is something I don't advise. I watched as $800 plus dollars came screaming down from the sky (Sig Cap 231EX w/Saito 180) for 2 reasons: Lack of experience and because the person would NOT listen to those with experience. I have not seen this person since then. Kinda like sex, we all want it as fast as we can get it, but sometimes waiting might be better! Yes, I am a graduate of NSU and can vouch for this!
