RE: What Next
I am not sure of your limitations on field and $$$ on choice of aircraft but I would recommend getting away from Hobby Zone toys if you are serious about flying. When I returned to the hobby after an 8 year break, I got an Aerobird challenger. I couldnt fly that thing to save my arse. Once I got into a .60 size trainer, the fun was on. I flew for about a year going to several different airframes. Then I got that old challenger out again. What a pain to fly. I still cant fly the darn thing.
