The Hurricane from Hobby Lobby is a good one, 43 inch wing span using a geared 280 motor. The Tigre Moth is definately a good one. Also Hobby Lobby has a Newport that flies good as I'm told. Also there are plenty others but I just listed a couple.

park flier
I just got my Tiger Moth Today
After flying fast glow planes and prop jets....just want something to relax at the park or in front of home...Can't wait to finish it...just waiting for the GWS flight pack to hook up to my Current 8 channel futaba radio....In your case do you all have two radios? Or you just use one radio for all?? Or what radio would you suggest if i should get one?
The Hurricane and the Sparrow..looks great..i'll be getting it later =)....Thanks..

Be sure to laminated the wing struts with 1/16 inch balsa. This makes for a stronger wing and glue joint. In the center section I set the dihedrel and the used 5 min expoxy to strengthen the top wing. Just a tip.

mutiple tx's
Jetfight
I use the Hitec prism and a spectra module
lets me use one tx and mutiple recievers on
different freq's . The spectra is a synsythised module and sets the frequency of the tx where ever you want
