Good 2nd planes:

Sig Four Star 40
Great Planes Super Sporster 40
SIG Something extra (if you keep it on low rates for the first few flights)
Hangar 9 Twist (Also if you keep the rate on very low, this was my second plane but it is more for 3d flying but does well for sport flying)

and a host of others

In all of the above I would really recommned the Four Star 40. You can transfer all of the stuff from the alpha right into it any one of the above

Yes you can use the whole radio set up. Just as others have said check it over thouroughly. Some suggestions would be a SIG Midstar 40, 4*40, and a goldberg Tiger II. Any of those would work just fine.

Sure you can switch everything over to your second plane, I did. Alpha to Sig 4 star. If I remember correctly the servos are JR 527s and have plastic gears. Be sure and check them over and be certain they are not stripped. The JR Quattro radio is a fine 4 channel radio and I used mine through six aircraft, up until the time I needed more than four channels.

I strongly recommend the SIG 4 Star as a second airplane. It is reasonably gentle, will do basic aerobatics, and will give you a gentle introduction to tail dragger aircraft, as it is not "squirrely" on takeoff.

Good luck and welcome to the hobby,

doubledee
