Default Suggestions needed for new plane

I want (need ) to get a new plane.

I need some suggestions for one since my "aged, decrepit" mind refuses to work. (Too many CA and paint fumes )

My likes/dislikes for this plane would be:

46 - 60 size single engine.

Preferably reasonably aerobatic, but can also be flown as a "Sunday flier" for relaxation.

Preferably a scale or semi-scale plane.

I like "different and/or unusual" planes. Something not usually seen at the field. Some of the "different" ones I have are: Transavia PL-12 Sky Farmer/Airtruk, FW-56 (Stosser) and a Bellanca Airbus (1930's era)

Preferably a low wing or mid wing plane, but not a warbird (the ones I have flown are not really a relaxing type of flier).

It can be ARF, kit or scratch built (from plans)

Thanks

Check out this site from the UK.

There are a lot of great planes available that you just don't see here in the US.
I ordered as Airsail Chipmunk kit from them a few months ago.
The service was good and shipping was fairly reasonable.

How about a crop duster? I've never built one, but they seem to be reasonably aerobatic and you can add some fun options to it.

That is the Airtruk - Crop duster from down under.

Airsail also makes a Piper Tomahawk -- right size, scale, should be a good slow flier, do some aerobatic and is a little different (although not as different as the Airtruk).

I fly my Ercoupe around super slow. Its hypnotizing. Trainer like.

My T-28 flies like a trainer , ( no pun intended ).

I'm working on an old Sig Bonanza which I hope will be a nice cruiser / touch and go, bird.

I love semi-scale birds. Half my fleet is generally semi-scale/ scale and half aerobats. I actually find the warbirds are pretty relaxing. They just cruise around like their on rails.

The World Models T-34

It is semi-scale..
It is size 40..
It is very aerobatics..
But still could be fly like a trainer..
It is very well built..
It is very tough (mine have couple of crashs and many hard landing on it)
And it is very cheap!
