I'm glad I and the others could help. It sounds like your real question is how to go about choosing your next model. That, as eloquently stated above, simply can't be answered in a thread like this. What we are able to do is direct you to consider the kind of flying you want to do next, and what you want your next airplane to do that your current one does not. The activity specific forums will go deeper into various designs' suitability for the task at hand, but for the beginning pilot's second airplane the classic "sport" models can't be beat. They are faster and more maneuverable to develop your control yet still forgiving. The other big benefit to them is that you will always have your days when you don't want to be challenged so you pull out that raggedy 4 Star or Ugly Stick and go at it.
