Thanks for all the suggestions.

I do plan on flying the Tiger a lot and practicing ladings as much as I can.  The reason for looking now is to get ready for the winter.  Winters in update NY are long and I am not yet used to the cold to go out and fly in it.

I knew there were a lot of options out there, but I did not realize there were so many as CGRetired has mentioned.
I think that out of choice right now I would go down the scale line.  I do need to still put more work into my detail on the building, but if I have a goal to work for, then I think it would not be a problem.  I have always liked the Cessna 172 look, so perhaps as mentioned I should go for a scale Cessna and really put some effort into it - i.e. landing lights and things like that.  I know it does not have retracts, but it does have flaps.

I also like the look of the US 60, so I am going to research where I can find that.

Another question entirely different:  Are kits slowing being removed from circulation?  If this is the case, then I may have to get a few kits to keep me going for the next few years.  As suggested, I am going to stay away from twins for the time being.

My ultimate plane to build and fly would be a 737 type aircraft.  I am not even sure if such an animal exists.

Thanks again for all the suggestions and help.
