Default next plane after trainer

i want to ask some advice about my next plane. ive been flying electrics for about a year, and i have an eagle fun flyer from hobby lobby. i now also have a glow trainer. ive mastered the funflyer and it only took me 2 flights to master the trainer. i want to get a profile plane because they do a lot of stuff. im looking at the morris knife and the top cap (both arfs). which is a better plane for my experience level? are they pretty easy to build and fly? would an os 40 be a good engine or do i need more power? i also read that i need bb servos-are they really that important? thanks

I have a 46 fx on my knife...I think for a 2nd plane a 40 will be just fine. after you get good with it and start getting bored, slap on a 46 and you will have a whole new bird...kinda like getting your 2nd and 3rd plane all in one. Gotta love that!

Yes you can epoxy it, and those props will be fine till you get used to it, then you'll want to switch to a 12x4 or 11.5x4 APC.

Fly it slow it's not a racer.
