Possibly the Senior Falcon.
One of these in my hangar at all times.
Any other candidates?

My choice is Joe Bridi's "Kaos." Been around forever, not too big or too small, still available. Excellent flier, and everyone who tries it likes it.

Kaos. The only answer.

Bill.

Status: offline 		Nice Aeromaster! Can't argue against anything Lou Andrews designed. You like the Sportster designs? Just a repackaged Andrews Trainermaster, though done a lot heavier for a simple build. A lot of the Vintage R/C designs from the 60's are fantastic sport flyiers. Really, in thinking about it, the problem with a lot of today's designs is LITE-PLY. It weighs a ton, and is about as strong as a cardboard box that was left out in the rain. Remember when they used to say "balsa flys better"?
