Default Acrobatic high wing suggestions?

I am considering getting back into the hobby after a number of years.
I had a lot of time on a Aerostar trainer with a very hot motor and some time on a Kobra again with a oversize motor.
I have quite a few hours on G3.5

I am looking for a high wing with a semi symmetrical wing or more so I can fly some stunts and have a bit of stability also.
Having the ability to get some extra power into her when I feel comfortable would be good also.

Anyone have a suggestion or does this plane not exist?

Thanks

I have two suggestions. First, I believe this is almost exactly what you were looking for.
http://www.bananahobby.com/1783.html
I have bought from Bananahobby with no problems yet. I got the AT-6 from them and it is a great plane.

I would also recommend the MS Composite Unique. I have one and it is a great flyer. It can do nice slow flight or fast with 3D maneuvers. It is capable of way more than I am I just set the rates low. You will have to have your own radio for this plane. Here is a pic of mine. Also this plane is a kit.

It's kind of funny, I could swear this exact question was asked very recently

Thanks Wheelnut

I hadn't thought of the AT-6 but that is my favorite right after a Skywalker. I will have to look into an AT-6 since I have not seen a Skywalker in electric yet.
Anybody recommend a manufacutre?

Click the link in my post, I bought my AT-6 from Bananahobby. Then I only spent $30 to upgrade to brushless and 3s lipo at hobbycity.com I can provide links to the brushless motor and lipo if you get ready to go.

One of the guys at my club flies an AviStar and that thing is pretty aerobatic. High wing, semi-symmetric airfoil, everything you want. It's an ARF kit from Tower for $109.

So, the bananahobby plane would be $20 cheaper that would save you money to put towards batteries or whatever, and it's a RTF which will save more money if you don't already have a radio.
Just check out the video of the plane on their site, it is very aerobatic
FalconFB, you didn't mention if you had a radio or not and if you plan to buy a good radio or not.
