Default Need help for next plane.

Whats up guys? Looking for ideas for next plane purchase. This will be my 5th plane. I learned on an Aircore trainer, built and flew an Astrohog, then flew an Aircore colt. I'm currently building a hanger 9 pulse 60xt. I'm looking for something to build while I fly the pulse. I want an ARF and a home for my os 70 surpass. The GP revolver, and the H9 sticks have caught my eye as well as the Seagull edge even though that will require a new engine purchase. It just seems like a very good value. Any ideas? Thanks guys.

I've had all the H9 sticks and I think they are great

The Sticks will have more self-righting characteristics than your Pulse, but will also handle windy conditions better, particularly cross winds. The GP Revolver will likely be faster and less forgiving than the Edge. If you want something to fly in windy conditions without the worry of damaging your Pulse, get the Stick. If you want to advance your flying skills, then get the Seagull Edge. If you want to get a little scared, the Revolver will do in a pinch, and you should do fine with it after you master the Pulse.

I fly in the wind often. What seems light and variable at the house seems like gusts to 20 at the field. The H9 sticks take this in stride

You can never beat a "Stick" type plane.....that's why they've survived 40+ years in design. Another thought is an Extra 300, Edge 540, Yak, etc. You don't have to to pursue 3D to have fun with them, but then maybe you will. I fly all 3 of them simply for sport flying..........[8D]

Great Planes Venus II with a 120AX. Once you get it in the air it will blow you away

Revolver is a great looking plane and doesn't pay any attention to wind. Does come in kinda fast though.
