Have you seen the video of the Tucano with the new SPT-10 ? Maybe that would be a good combo for your field.

http://youtu.be/SaLm4ZEUKpc I love the design of the Tucano and it has always been one of my favorite designs (this is my second Tucano), but it has a tendency to fly with a low tail and it just looks strange in the air. If you fly it faster you don't notice it too much but for sure in slow speed passes it looks like the airplane is seating in its tail.

The Marchetti doesn't have that problem and it's a great flyer in all range of speeds. The problem is that it doesn't look as scale as the Tucano on its design.
