Default Airplane Info Needed

I am looking at getting my second airplane and heard that the Cermark Graduate, Tower Hobbies Voyager and the World Models T-34 Mentor were good ones. Any info like if you owned any of the aircraft, tips comments, web sites, any info about them would be great.

All good choices. Flip a coin and you won't make a bad choice. Of the planes listed the T-34 would make an excellent second plane. It is very forgiving and stable while still having the capability to do decent aerobatics. Inverted flight is stable also.

I have the T-34 and it is an excellent plane. The graduate looks high-quality, also. I would probably stay away from the Voyager.....I saw one before and the entire turtledeck was plastic, and the covering was cheap.
Another great choice is the Goldberg Tiger 2.

I've got the Graduate. Great plane, very stable and goes where you point it. My Instructor took it through a simple pattern session and was very impressed. Be cautious of the directions though as they aren't very good, but if you've put one ARF together, you shouldn't have any issues. You'll be very happy with it. I'm flying mine with a 40FX and it is just the right engine for this airframe, although a 46FX or something of that type would make this a monster. If you want to see mine, look at my hangar here. Have fun with whatever you choose!
