Default RE: Suggestions for planes

Thanks for the suggestions all - please keep them coming.
I've been thinking about getting a 4 star for a while - never owned one but have had a fly of one a few times. This will justify me getting one.Maybe I'll put the 1.80 in an Ultrastick 1.20 for him and keep the 4 star for myself.
I have 2 x UCDs already (a 60 and a giant) I've been letting him fly the 60 (Which has a Saito 1.25 in it) but he's worried that he may break it (See below - he broke two of mine in one day).
I'm thinking of getting another Seagull Spacewalker for the 56 (my last one had an 82 in it and I removed the dihedral - that was fun until it got broken)




He's actually a better pilot than me, just a little bit shaken at the moment
I'll give you some background on some of the crashes he had

1 x dumb thumbs of my 2m Extra - fast inverted low pass followed by the wrong elevator stick direction (There are three types of rc flyers - those that have done this, those that will do it again sometime and those that have not done this yet but will) .
1 x Mid air (Neither pilot saw the other until the toothpicks fell out of the sky) with My Harrier.
1 x huge Radio glitch (failure) of his Ultrastick

All in the same day[&o]
Days like that can be a little disconcerting to anybody.
