I agree with blackB12, i have had i mach 2 (3rd plane) and i loved the way that it flew, definatly got me hooked on more aerobatic planes. I also hear from people that the stick is a great choice to. If i could do it again i would have chosen the stick as my second, and not my easy sport. my instructor told me he recommended the stick for years to his students. my 2 cents
