RE: 2nd plane
Since Betelguese has been flying a .60-sized trainer, he'd probably rather stick with a .60-sized or larger airplane for second aircraft. The Pulse XT is a pretty airplane, but they don't make a .60-sized version (yet).
The Goldberg Tiger 1.20 ARF has been on Tower Hobbies' daily special chart all month. It's normally priced at $349.99, and it's slowly worked it's way down to $233 and some change. If you order within the next three hours, you get get the daily sale price plus an additional $25 off.
Tower will have another promo discount for June, but the Goldberg Tiger 1.20 will most likely be off the daily sale list once the clock strikes midnight.
A good bargain engine to match with this ARF would be the KangkeUSA SK 1.10 2-stroke. This powerplant is only $119.99, and it's 33.1 ounces of weight will help balance the notoriously tail-heavy Tiger 1.20
That combination would make one sweet flying airplane for only $325 plus flight pack!
