With all the excitement of getting in the air, of course I've been looking for a second plane. I really like the scale stuff, and I want something sporty, so I've decided upon the Great Planes Cherokee 40 ARF. The grand total for my second plane will be $262.36, which includes everything from Pitts muffler to a half gallon of 15% fuel to 3 more servos (7 total). The devil on my left shoulder is saying that this really isn't a bad price for a second plane and all building equipment (Tower has $20 off orders over $149, and I have a $25 rebate form, added together for supplies/servos/muffler, and a second order for just the plane at another $20 off.) The clean-shaven, hornless devil on my right shoulder is saying that it's only my second plane, and it's an awful lot of money to smack into the cornfields. Of course it will take a while to assemble (won't even start until June) and will fly my trainer as much as possible until then, hopefully not flying #2 until I'm really ready, or until my trainer breaks! My plan is to remove everything from the trainer, and keep it as a skeleton for emergencies.

Should I go for it? (Like I don't know what your answer will be! Also just got a new credit card in the mail today...uh oh!)

Always welcoming recommendations for a semi-scale sporty plane. I already fly well in the sky, am very good at making recoveries, and soloing by my 10th flight.

Thanks!
