I debated getting a pulse as my second model but decided on a GP Big Stik 60. It flies great and is ultra easy to land, even easier than my Nexstar. Plus, I wanted something that is easy to work and I like the fact that the STIK doesn't have a cowling. I used a 90 size engine as I wanted something that would climb with authority. Also, it's $179 at Towerhobbies vs $239 for the Pulse XT 60. I think it's the most affordable 60 sized ARF you can buy.
