Default Good second plane?

Well, I've finally had a chance to fly my Sky Scooter. I have 3 batteries through it and only one crash. I'm thinking Christmas would be a good time to ask for a new plane, but I'm not sure what to get. Any suggestions?

Thanks

What kind are you looking for wing, another trainer, or something aerobatic??
Also do you have li-poly of nickle metal batteries?

Well, I don't want to use Li-Poly batteries for sure (at least not for a while). I'm thinking somthing aerobatic would be good (not 3D though).

The GWS Formosa is a good acrobatic airplane that doesn't need li-poly bats.

OK. Do you have a link for it? Well this is the list I have come up with so far.

Wattage Super Impress
Wattage Ultimate Bipe
Wattage Giles G-202
Wattage Cap 232
Wattage F-86
Wattage Mig-15
Pigi 3D
Eagle
Ta-138 Hucklebein
T-6 Texan
He-162 Salmander
ThreeDee
Swift Racer
Super Miss

All the planes that arn't Wattage are from Hobby-Lobby.com. So from those which ones would be good and wich one wouldn't be good?

Thanks!

I just saw the CAP 232 on your list and I have seen several of them fly. I would not recommend that one for a second plane. They want to fly fairly fast and from what they told me require you to be one step ahead of them at all times. I should add I have seen two of the three crash. It is a plane for experienced pilots only.

I recommend, in order of preference:

Slow Stick
Tiger Moth (IPS)
GWS P-51 (you can use your sky scooter packs in this one.)
Formosa
