I was doing spins (my first!) with my Pulse XT this afternoon when it occurred to me that exactly one year ago today was my first trip to the local hobby store. I'd gotten a Slow Stick for Christmas and needed all the rest of the goodies- funny how a $30 airplane has cost me hundreds and hundreds. In a year's time I've gone from the Slow Stick to an Avistar to the Pulse and am hooked. So now I wonder... where do I go from here?

One of the nice things about this hobby is that there are so many different paths to take: warbirds, scale, pattern, multi, kits, etc. I get the feeling I want to move up in size with perhaps an eye towards trying some precision flying. While I know there's nothing wrong with 40 size planes, what's a reasonable jump in size to make without biting off too much? Should I go to say a 90 only after some experience in a 60, or does it matter?

For what it's worth, I'm totally comfortable flying the Avistar and no longer afraid of the Pulse.

Thoughts?
