I had a Goldberg and Great Planes extra....flyingpilgrim is right to suggest these as well; and those are very capable airplanes. Way beyond the Somethin xtra and Tiger 60 in my opinion though.

I also liked the constuction and overall build of the Goldberg kit much, much better, and I like the proportions of it better too. The thin plywood turtle deck of the fuse is probably a little tricky to build. But really straight forward beyond that.

The Great Planes I did not like, I like their kits generally, but I just did not like this one. The wing bolts from the bottom and is a real goo trap, and I had a terrible time with the landing gear being very weak.

But I just prefer the mid-wing extra. I'll spare you the bad luck details of the aforementioned extras, but my 50cc Extra 260 has been treating me very well.

Good luck!
