Good point, I've flown a lot of different plans thinking I would like them but it doesn't always work out that way. I sometimes end up throwing them in the rafters or selling to someone else. For instance, I always thought 3D looked cool. I built a Fun Fly Hots, bought a H-9 Twist and even got an Edge-540 profile for some serious 3D stuff. It was neat for a while but it got old. I found that I liked the "locked in" feeling of a plane at high speed or inverted a few feet off the deck. I discovered I was more of a sport flyer. I also like warbirds and I'm building a TF P-47. I'm not sure if I want to get serious about all the scale detail like some guys do though so we'll see where that goes.

I hear the Goldberg Tiger is a good second plane but performs pretty well too. I'm way beyond plane #2 now but I just ordered a Tiger-2 kit so I can have another basic sport plane around. The GP Rapture is good as is the Sig 4-Star. I've never flown a H-9 Pulse-XT but hear it is an excellent airplane too. The World Models Sky Raider Mach-2 isn't much to look at but it flys excellent. Another option is a Stik of some sort. The Super Sportsters are great airplanes too but probably for plane #3 in my opinion. I had the .40 size ARF and currently fly a kit built .60 size. Other third plane options might be the Kaos, Ultra-Sport, World Models Rambler and a whole bunch of other stuff (too many to mention).

I almost forgot about the Parkzone T-28. I know it's electric, I know it's small and I know it's foam. I would have never believed I would recommend a plane like that but it really does fly nice and is a lot of fun. Great, inexpensive second plane material or as an addition to your hangar any time.
