Which Plane Next???
Hi all! I need your help. My first plane was a Sig Kadet Senior (kit, not AFR) and I followed that with the Top Flight Contender as my second plane. The other three planes I have waiting to be built next are the Balsa USA Northstar, the Great Planes Phantom F4 (which I plan to convert to electric), and finally the JHH 123% Tomcat F14. My question is, what would be the best plane to build next after becoming very proficient with the Kadet and Contender. Obviously, the Tomcat will be the very last because that is what I ultimately aspire to be able to pilot. With that said, between the F4 and Northstar, which would be a good candidate for a third plane? Or should I buy and build a different plane all together to enable me to migrate toward those two? Any advice you all can give me would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

I'd go with the F4. For one you'll learn some of the building technics and secondly your get some experience flying with a wing loading similar to what your F14 will be. These things fly like bricks and require a good amount of finess to get them to land on the numbers.
Good luck and wish you the best....
