I am getting comfortable flying the kadet LT-40 and thinking about purchasing my second plane. I will continue to fly the Kadet until I am certain I am ready but would like to go ahead and buy my next plane to be ready just in case something bad happens. I am leaning towards two different planes and several different engines. This is a two part question, plane and engine. What combo do you like?

Ultra Stick 40 w/ Evolution .46 (cheap and I am comfortable with this engine, its on my trainer.)
w/ O.S. AX .55 ( a great engine, with plenty of power, but will it make much difference compared to the cheaper Evolution?)
w/ Saito .82 ( awesome sound and power, but the COST!!)

Pulse XT 60 w/ O.S. AX .75 ( from what I hear, should be a rocket!)
w/ Evolution .61 (just enough engine but a lot of savings, I am a little worried about the larger Evolution)
w/ Saito .82 (enough motor but for a little more you can get the .100 saito)
w/ Saito .100 ( power to spare, but pricey)

So what do you think? I know I will have to wait on ordering the Pulse 60 , but I am in know hurry. Is there a better plane and engine I have over looked? As long as it is not a 4 Star 40, great plane I know but not for me.
