I learned to fly a year ago with an Alpha .60 (with the Evolution engine) and love it. I have "wrung out" the Alpha with lots of stick time and trying to learn the few tricks it is capable of. I still love the trainer but want a new giant scale plane for my next. I thought the Giant Big Stick with the OS 1.60 would be a "safe" choice over a low-wing aerobat since the Stick has tricycle gear and high wings. Before I pull the trigger on this set-up I'd like to hear some reasons why I shouldn't. Are there similer planes to the stick that I may have overlooked? What am I missing by not going the low wing, tail dragger route? From what I've read the OS is plenty of power for the fifteen pound giant big stick.
