Default lookin for new airplane!!

hello everybody i'm looking to buy a lower wing that can handle a .46 2c. i want an airplane that looks awesome but optional and is a good airplane to come from a trainer. I've looked mostly at the great planes line up but i wasn't exactly sure if that was a good aircraft. i mostly looked at the Extra 300S and the Giles G-202. all suggestions will be considered without a doubt.

The Sig 4 Star 40 is a good second plane low wing, flys nice, taildragger. All around good choice.Check Tower I think its about 149 for the ARF. the 202 or the extra might be a bit to much since your just comming off the trainer.-MIke

You could get a 4 star 40 made by sig. It is GREAT with a 46. I have one and I love it. You can get it in kit or arf form. I wouldn't go an extra or a giles as a second plane because they snap very easy and are highly aerobatic. Not a good choice if it is your second airplane. You could also get a great planes cessna or a super sportster. Also the u can do 3d arf 46 would be great.
Hope this helps

I have both planes a 4* and a Tiger 2 they both fly very well. I prefer the Tiger 2.

Fletch ... what do you wanna fly? What style? People always ask what they should get for a 2nd or 3rd plane ... they never ask themselves what they wanna do with this hobby. For me when I started I said I wanna probably fly nice planes that are gentle ... now I am into tearing up the sky! Hehehe ... I like my acrobatic planes. Love my SU31.
