Yes...the big stiks seem like they would be a nice second plane, but i think i would favor a 40 over a 60....is there much of a difference besides size and speed?

I recommend the Big Stik .60 because of its size and weight. In my rookie experiences,size and weight along with symetrical wings makes for a plane that take on the wind(a rookies worst nightmare) way better than a lighter .40 sized plane. I'm sure the .40 Stik would be good though if one wanted to stick to .40 sized planes. There about a 1-2 lb and a 7-8" difference in the two,but it makes a big difference I think.
