Default RE: 2nd plane a 40 or 60?

The Tiger 60 besides being tail heavy is an incredible flying airplane, Very aerobatic and lands like a dream
My tiger with CGRetired's old 61 sf and a 10 oz tank gives me about a 10 min flight. Plane weighs in
at 7lb 6oz (Dick I moved the CG to 4 1/2 inches and lost 7 oz). The vertical climb on the planes is
Respectable not unlimited with a .61.

Starfire, the Tiger 2 was my second plane and was very much like the tiger 60. The wind
did push it around alot more and I was having a problem seeing it when I flew out
over the field. My tiger 2 saw 4 crash and rebuilds before I gave it back to the guy
who gave it to me. I saw it fly 2 weekends ago and it still flies great. I just prefer a larger
model. and the tiger 60 seemed to fit in all aspects, size, price, and performance.
