Well I have been flying for about 18 months now. My first plane was a Hobbico trainer. My second plane is a Voyager and I love flying that plane. I want to get a thrid plane and retire the trainer. I want to get something scale and I can use my 6 channel radio. I am thinking right now of the T-34 mentor. I want something that I can fly hard and push the limits with. I am not into 3D flying so the extra and edge are not my cup of tea. Please pass along ideas for planes that are around 200 dollars or less.

Hanger9 pulse xt 40 Put a 52- 55 Size two stroke engine and let it rip.

I had a lot of fun with the World Models Rambler 45, has retracts and looks kinda scale. If you want a warbird, I would also reccomend the WM Mustang. Both are great flying sport planes that will go pretty fast with the right engine/prop.

The 1/4 scale Spacewalker II by Sig should fit the bill (190.00 at Tower). Can do aerobatics but has a reputation of being a *****cat when you want it to be.

That's quite a filter there. If I can't use the word pus*ycat how about very docile (:-)

You'll just have to use British expressions then... Twat-cat for example.
10x more offensive than yours... yet un filtered!
Tossers.
There's an other.

your kidding *****cat is filtered?

IT IS !!!!!!!!!

Strange...

Yet Clit cat and Clitty cat, to name but a few, aren't.

Fasinating as they're my favourate subject.
My second is RC planes which bring me back to the original question. A third plane.
Whereas I totally understand you desire to get something exciting, exotic, with retracts etc etc I belive you be better off with a real desent plane.
A CG Tiger II or even better, it's Kyosho alternative will introduce you to how a model plane should fly.
It'll do more for your skill level than flicking a retract switch.
Introduce yourself to some simple precision aerobatics via sports level competition... that'll introduce you to properly trimming your aeroplane (yes, it has nothing to do with those little black buttons near the sticks on your transmitter). This'll be worth million more than landing a model with flaps... when the model lands almost exactly the same, possibly even easier and or better without them!

Or just by a sport scale model and Give-a-D' if that make you happy.

Yup I agree a good precision plane would be the next best thing to up your flying skills. Go with what Bla Bla said or with a venus or venusII, one cool thing is I dont think you will outgrow a venusII. One suggestion first though, modify your voyager to a taildragger, so you can get some experience without risking a nice pattern ship.

You would love the Venus 40. One great plane. You might also want to think about a four star 60. They fly great.
