RE: Penny for your thoughts?
Is it the Great Planes profile Gee-Bee? That kit is out of production and gets some good prices on eBay. I definitely would not use it as a second plane. Profile/fun-fly planes are generally VERY responsive and aerobatic. Depending on how your flying ability develops, you'll likely be able to use it for #3 though. Just keep the throws low at first and remember that the throttle doesn't have to be shoved forward all the time. As you get comfortable, crank it up and watch what it can do.
I have to admit that I kind of like profiles. They remind me of some planes I had as a kid in the 70's. I had a Cox .049 powered Goldberg control line plane that my Dad put together for me. I think it was a Little Toot or Little Jumpin Bean. A little later, the very first airplane I ever built was a Sterling Ringmaster control line profile. The modern RC profiles have achieved a whole new level of performance compared to those old things of course.
Profile/Fun-fly planes do have a down side too in my opinion. They don't have nearly the same flight characteristics as most sport planes and scale planes. They have extremely light wing loading and lighting fast response. They don't land anything like most sport planes either. Not that there is anything wrong with this; it can be fun in fact. They can just teach you habits that don't work well on other types of aircraft in my opinion.
I'd look at eBay and here on RCU to make sure your radio and the plane are comparable in value before making any decision.
