I don't think you can beat a world models skyraider mach 2 as the ultimate 2nd plane. Doea it all and it's only 70 bucks. I've been flying for years yet it still provides enjoyment for me. Knife edge circles are fun with it. I have a super tigre 51 on mine and it's ballistic. Flew fine with the Supertigre 40 I previously had on there. Here's mine.
