RE: going to try instead of arf.
The Somethin' Extra is also known as the SSE (for RCUsearching). Probably has the most build threads of any specific plane on RCU. It is truly a giggles-n-grins plane that at high rates has a roll rate well over 720 degrees a second and enough elevator authority to loop darn near in its own length. Put a big chunk of aluminum on the nose and it will give you unlimited vertical. Know also that the SIG designer & prototype builder is still flying his original prototype (or at least that's what I remember him saying).
Pilot experience: intermediate
Builder experience: beginner
Great 1st build too.
