Ok… so I'm 10 years old and I have an RC 4CH trainer that i've crashed a lot, but now I think I'm ready for a 2nd plane. I know there are all those 1st plane videos on youtube, but i think I'm past the "Super easy trainer" stage. I think could go for something a little more advanced, but not too advanced. I sort of want to buy an ultra micro corsair with as3x, but I'm not sure. What do you guys think could be my 2nd plane?

I think you should build a ft spitfire. It's a great second plane because it's very floaty and has no stall tendencies.

I vote FT Spitfire, as well. It was my first plane ever. For a 4 channel its pretty easy to fly.

Your first plane is the same as Bixler - a good first plane.
Why not go for a similar plane with motor in front and landing gear to learn start and landings?.
Du you have a field for starts and landings?
CUBs are popular but you might also look for something like the Apprentice in style.
I think that you will be fine with an UMX Corsair but that is a totally different style of planes.
A bigger Corsair or a nose gear T-28 might be more fun.

If you decide to build one, the FT Storch will be out next week. I've seen it flying at Flite Fest. It is going to be a great all-around airplane.

hi frogmaster rc

i would go with and Apprentice .like Pgerts say you got to learn how to land and take off cause Corsair is fast and you wouldnt want to cash it . plus Apprentice is very stable more stable then a super cub lp .i have both so i know . there is and other plane called firebird stratos only 3 channel but it has wheels check it out it fly like a bird .
