Want is the best 2nd plane to get, When you have PASSED the UK A TEST.

Sorry This is Short?

Thank You Tom

There are bunches to choose from. My second is a Sig four star 40. I am happy with it. I also have a Seagull Skywalker which is much more stable and easier to fly than the four star, but not aerobatic.

I have heard good things about the Carl Goldberg Tiger II. It's made to easily convert from trike to a tail dragger.

Look at World Models Rambler 30, Goldberg Tiger II and also possibly a Spacewalker. All 3 fly very well, are aerobatic, land at trainer speeds and are quite stable. The Tiger II is a tri gear, but can easily be converted to a taildragger.

FWIW, I have personally found the quality of the World Models to be extremely good throughout and a very good value for the money.

Got a link to the UK A test requirements?

I have a copy of them on my PC at home (I am on the road).
I think AMA should adopt something like this.
We will have people screaming about invasion of human rights, but I bet our insurance goes down!

LOL... I just SUGGESTED people LOOK at the solo requirements that one club has... an there was a barrage of complaints.

But knowing the requirements of what the guy has had to accomplish is a minimum amount of knowledge for making an intelligent suggestion about his second airplane.

My old club in Indiana has a leveling system and from the person's level, you know there demonstrated skill. I have been to clubs where people have landed the plane once and said they soloed. I think it is crazy.

You can't be a Rambler, 30 or 40 size and the Tiger 2 is just as good. They all will fly fast if you can handle it, and then slow down to walking speed to calm your nerves or land!.

Thanks for the replys so far.

Ive bin looking around and found one of these a Blackhorse Travel Air Has any any one flown one

Cheers Steve

My second plane was a Galaxy models Magician and lasted ages. Easy to fly and resonably aerobatic. I don't know if they still sell them (I think they do). If not, you can get them from pegasus models.

The Chriss Foss kits are good. A Wot 4 is a definate good second model (although it doesn't look much it flies great). The Acro Wot is good too.
