RE: 2nd plane a 40 or 60?
I would go with the 60. When I started I was told that larger planes fly better. At first I ignored their advice, but as I gained additional wisdom I realized they were right.
A 60 sized airplane flies MUCH better, but has slightly higher operating costs. They require more fuel per flight and a more expensive engine. The superior flight characteristics plus the "cool" factor of flying something bigger far outweigh the negatives.
