Well, Pete, if you have some flying experience, a great "second" plane is the Goldberg Protege. Minnflyer did a review here on RCU of that plane. I have one, has and OS 75 AX on board. Flys very well, lands like a trainer, but is fairly aerobatic.

There are several other ones, low wing types, that we talk about all the time here on RCU, the Goldberg Tiger II, Tiger 60, and Tiger 120 series. Sig also makes a Four Star series, the Four Star 40, Four Star 60, and the Four Star 120. All are fine flyers. These low wingers are sedate enough as a second plane, yet capable enough to do most aerobatics. All come in ARF form, the Tiger 60 and 120 as well as the Protege have two part wings so you do not have to join them with epoxy. They have a metal tube spar that gives them support. The Protege is especially nice because the tail goes together with bolts instead of epoxy. This will make it a quick build and is a very sturdy aircraft.

Mike did his with the OS 55 AX which is plenty of engine. I did mine with the OS 75 AX and it is very capable with that engine. The only reason I didn't use the .55 is because the LHS was out of that engine and had the .75 in stock. They had the .55 on back order and I wanted to fly it, so I bought the .75. Very capable with that engine. What really surprized me is that it took NO weight in the nose to make the CG. Perfect as it was, which was good news. No messing around with the CG. Just flew it, and fly it did.

All work just fine with standard servos.
