Let me add to CGRetired's suggestions: The Goldberg Tigers are superb second planes. I considered the 60 kit before getting my SIG Fourstar ARF. I subsequently got a Tiger 2 ARF and highly recommend it. Like the Fourstar it is maneuverable and aerobatic while at the same time being stable and gentle. It simply sticks to the runway on landing with no bounce at all. I found it superior to the Fourstar, perhaps in part because of its dual aileron servos (The Fourstar 60 hs two but the 40 size has only one). Also, the Tiger can be built as a tri-gear and easily converted (built in design) to a taildragger as you gain experience. The only caveat is that I do not know if the Tiger 2 kit is exactly the same as the ARF in terms of dihedral, semi or full symmetric wing, fin size, etc. In comparing my Tiger to an older one at the club all these have been changed over the years (including the move to dual aileron servos) and the newer edition is much more responsive than older models. While I think the 40 ARF is matched to the 60 kit in these areas I am not sure the 40 kit is the same, so you will want to check on this if you decide for the 40 size.
