If you can't find the 4*, I wouldn't pass up on a Tiger 60, not the Tiger 2, the 60 flies much better in my experience. I built mine as a taildragger to start with, and there was absolutely no issue with that. I lucked out and found a used 4* 60, it was inexpensive, but extremely ugly, so I doctored up the holes in the covering, and that didn't make it any better until I ended up making a P-40 style shark mouth for the nose. Now it looks the part of Frankenplane. The only reason I mentioned that is because I wasn't really in the market for one, and I just happened to see this at a LHS, where some guy brought it in on consignment. It took a couple of minutes to look at to determine that it was just ugly finished, but the thing was halfway decently built. So, maybe you can find a "bargain" somewhere, and "make it hers" by spending a little time doctoring it up. I also found an Astro Hog the same way. The Astro Hog came with a ST 91 on it, it ends up being heavy, but flies ok, just sucks up more fuel than my 4 strokes. It is a great touch and go plane, flies inverted fairly well, needs the power to pull a big loop, however. If it were built more lightly, it would be a better flier.
