I guess (for now), of the ones discussed here, I'd have the Pulse at the top (60 or 125), then the Four-Star 60 (if it ever exists again), then the Phoenix 60 (thanks for that tip!).
The Four-Star 60 kit seems to be available............doesn't take that long to build.
My last building student was in his 70s. I use the 4* 60 as the teaching aid. Years ago I used the Super Sportster 60 but someone told me about the 4* so I changed over to it. My 70 year old student had his 4 star finished and out the door in 6 days. These were full 6 hour days though. His plane was built fully stock too. My 12 year old student took all one summer. He tended to keep finding other things to be doing. His also got several minor mods.
You asked about the Super Sportster. The kit is a bit harder then the 4* and the plane isn't a lot harder to fly but it is a bunch better as a stunt trainer then the 4*. That and every body and there uncle doesn't have one.
The Pulse 60 is a lot like the 4* but a bit more sporty to fly and it is a nice ARF with some good features. I think you would really like it.
