RE: Good 2nd plane?
FWIW, I went from a nexstar to a avistar to a tt lazy tiger to a sig mayhem to a andrews aeromaster bipe to anything i wanted to after that...it took about 2 years. Then in another 2 years I went to a H9 P47, an 9 sized ultimate, a CG chipmunk, a GP spacewalker, a sig wonder, a diamond dust, a GP combat p-51, a little ACE ultimate, a cermark sukhoi, a H9 texan, a Wrld Mdls clipped cub, a reg sized WM cub, a H9 sopwith camel, and a tiger moth. Yeah bouncing around from plane to plane as far as what my fancy was at the time. I have a DA50 and a H9 Extra260 calling for me in my closet.....maybe when the mood hits me. At the moment, I have a hankering to flying SLOW and using rudder as much as I can.....go figure....
There's a ton of stuff out there...Ask a load of questions, do your homework, read the forums with a grain of salt and have FUN choosing. This hobby is the greatest.
