Lots of advice here. I'll have to think about this. I agree the Astro Hog looks great. I live in a small apartment at the moment though while my other half and daughter live in another town. Work thing. Anyhow... it doesn't leave me any room to build a kit. My "instructor" (well he trims my planes and gives me pointers ) didn't seem to keen on the Four Star as a second plane, I'm not sure why, I'll have to ask. He also definately frowned on the Matt Chapman Cap 580 I'm looking at the Tiger II and Space Walker II. Yes, leaning towards the Space Walker for the reasons you said, its a pretty plane and it flies nice on the sim. RCU review shows it to be pretty capable in aero as well, if you watch the video. And... well to be fair looks are part of it. I just like the way it looks.

Another one I was looking at was the Hangar 9 Pulse XT 40. I'll do a little research on that one as well.

Thanks for all the ideas everyone.
