Default What plane should I get?

I'm looking for a new flying experience. I've already flown a Zagi XS, Sturdy Bird, Funtana 40, Twist, Super Impress (elec. then glow), 4 Star 60 and a SPA3DT. Any ideas? I'm looking for a real pilot pleaser. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated! Let's say I have a budget of $400 or less for the shell/ARF.

How about a warbird? They always draw a crowd at my field. Maybe one of those ARFs from Giant Scale Planes or VQ Models.

Try an EXTRA 300 or a CAP 232 something scale you should be able to pick up a .40 size within your price range

I just finished putting together a World Models P51 last night. If I can get my honeydos done quick enough, I'll be able to take it to the field today. The quality is prety good. Go for a warbird.

I forgot to mention that I have a Hanger 9 Corsair already. I'm still wondering what engine to put in it though. So the warbird is covered. Any more ideas? Thanks.

Try a multi-engine. I've got an old GP PT-40 I converted to a twin years ago and it was interesting (painful when I stuck my finger in the starboard APC prop.) Soon to get it out and make airworthy again.
Stay challenged, it'll stay fun...
