Thanks for your responses. A few thoughts:

- GP's new profile P38 is exactly the kind of thing I've been thinking about. I wonder how it flies. I know there are threads on it.

- I think semi-scale is probably more fun to fly than true scale, as well as being cheaper. The wing loading is probably generally lower.

- I will check out your suggestions regarding manufacturers.

- Does anyone know a magazine name/issue that I should check out. I'd love to build from plans.

Cheers,

Mike
