I want to get my 2nd plane i would like it to be a stable low winger ! What should I get ? I have made up my mind i want it to be an ARTF or RTF .

Thanks Stedge

You could do a lot worse than a World Models T-34 Beechcraft Mentor. Easy to put together, cheap and flies very well. I would set the ailerons at slightly less than recommended throw for the first few flights until you get a feel for it. A .46 or .47 make them work real well, but even a plain-Jane .40 would be make it an enjoyable ride.

I would go with a super sportster, will do most anything you want to do but still flies and lands slow if you want. I have had one for 12 years, although it was a builtup kit, it still is one of my favorites. I am assuming the ARF is similar to the one I have. A lot of people will recommend a 4star.

I've been an instructor for 20 years or so and I think muddpup is correct in what he posted, but I don't think your second plane should be a low wing. I think you would be much better off with a high wing with basic aerobatic capabilities and a symmetrical airfoil. Something that can be stepped on as you skill increases, inexpensive, with some positive stability. The traditional "stick" or the Super Kraft SK-50 would serve you better. But this is just my opinion and according to my wife I'm wrong much more than I'm right.

Ditto on the World T-34. Set it up on low rates and it will fly smooth and stable or do cork screws through the air with any good 46 engine.

If you're looking for a very quick-assembling ARF, then check out the Super Sports 40 from World Models...it makes a great 2nd plane, and can be ready to fly in about 5 hours. The T-34 is great also, as a couple of other people mentioned.

The GP super sportster ARF has my vote.

It was a great second plane for me. I had an OS 40 fx in it and the thing would really fly. Fast (if wanted) and stable..

My 2 cents

Ditto on the World Models Super Sport 40. It sells for $100, is quick to get in the air, and is a good flyer with a wide speed range. The only problem I had with mine (besides the locked up rx that finally did it in) was a warped elevator. This was quickly fixed with some opposite twist and a heat gun. The hardware is good and even comes with a block of foam already cut out for your rx and battery.

That being said, I just got an Ace/ThunderTiger Cloud Dancer 40 and it is a sweat flying plane. It's got one of the largest wing areas for a 40 size plane (625 sq. in. vs 565 for the SS) and the double taper wing has a very wide speed range. It took more work to get ready to fly, cost more, but I think the difference shows.
