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!

Yep, you can get it here: http://www.monsoonrc.com/planes/gws/formosa/formosa.htm

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

the Formosa is good..it was my first plane..and it is now very old..but still doing rolls and all of those crazy things..like a natural..still one of my fav. planes! I've also flown the scooter..ya..recommend you change..isnt that challenging to fly the scooter huh?
