Hello. I've been flying consistently for about a month now. I have been through two trainers, 2 electrics, and a glider. I have never been trained. I am now in a club, with an Avistar. It is the only plane I have left, and have been flying it for a month, almost every day. I can do pretty much everything I want to. I am thinking about a new plane. Since an avistar is supposed to be more acrobatic than a trainer, should I go with a 2nd plane or skip to a third. I haven't been to the club in a week so I haven't seen the guys out there and I have been flying at my own spot. I have landed dead stick a couple times. And once without a prop. Plus I have to land at a pretty narrow runway, when I'm not at the club. What do you guys think? Thanks, in advance, for the input.

P.S. I hate to build. I would rather get an ARF. Sorry about that. Forgot to put it into my original message.

Sounds like someone is ready to graduate! Congratulations! What to get next depends on the type of flying you want to do. Fun-Fly, Pattern, 3-D, Scale, Sport, etc. Start looking at some fun fliers, or Extra 300's. A Great Planes Ultra Sport 40 ARF, or a Sig SE would also be outstanding.

Orangeman,
Consider looking into the Stik type of airplane. They're easy to build and and an absolute blast to fly. Very acrobatic and easy to land. I like the GP Big Stik, because it's the one I have and am familiar with, but a friend has an Ultra Stick and it's a peach too. Everyone should own a Stik of some flavor.

Sig Somethin Extra, GP Super Sportster, GP Ultra Sport or some of the sticks.
