Default 60 Sized ARF as 2nd plane - Recommendations ?

The edge 540 has got nice slow speed characteristics, so it may be suitable, with the right throws and throttle management.
Even still the Edge is pretty demanding in terms of being a point and shoot kinda plane (there's definitely no self-correcting tendencies in the design) and engine out flight (it does slow well, but that might lead to a false sense of confidence in deadstick senarios). If I were looking to a 2nd model, I'd pass on the Edge and look into the CG Tiger 60, Sig 4 Star 60, or ModelTech Dragon Lady. Any one of these models would fit the bill for a good 2nd model. And all can be quite aerobatic when pushed, the Dragon Lady probably being the most aerobatic since I believe it's got a fully symmetrical wing (at least my 40 did).
