RE: It actually flies!
Oh yeah, they look great. And, you will fly one. But, my only consideration here is that you don't overdo it with the selection of the wrong aircraft for your second. It's that old addage.. "learn to crawl before you learn to walk". Hey, we all went through all this.
I bought a flying wing called the Ripmax Rappier. Turns out that this thing was fast as hell. I bought it while I was training with my NexStar, waited about a year to build it, and am I glad!! That thing, although not a "handful", was something to behold. VERY capable. Landing was a real trip because it had skids and no wheels. So, your appoach had better be good because you didn't have a second chance!!!
My second was a Tiger 60. Fine aircraft and an excellent choice for a second plane, as many others are.. Four star 40 and 60, Tiger II and 60, as many others that other posters will recommend. That mid star is a fine aircraft and looks great.. but it may not be your best choice for a second plane.
