RE: best second airplane
My second plane and one I highly recommend is the Four Star .40. Like the other guys have said you can swap everything right over. And the ARF on towerhobbies is about 150 then you can subtract the 20 dollar discount and get it for about 130. But I would also recommend the Sig Somethin Extra. If you have the help to get comfortable with a new plane then I would go this route. Some might say this isn't a good suggestion, but with a buddy cable and low rates and expo you should have no problems. Ive read that I can be pretty tame if you set it up right, and it can also get down right nasty when you're ready to step it up a notch My friend has a Somethin Extra and its a good plane.
