Great Planes sells a 1.20 size 82" wingspan Giant Super Sportster ARF @ $349.98. It will fly on a 1.20-2.0 glow, a 32cc gas, or an electric system that will shake your wallet. G.P. also has a giant Big Stick ARF (the kind I think you don't care for, std. red ugly stick covering) with a 80.5" wingspan and will take same power as the Giant Super Sportster. In kits you might like a Sig 4 Star 1.20 size, about an 80" wingspan not clipped. Many like to clip a bay off each wing on this plane to make it more sporty. Small gas or 1.20 glow is what they call for. In ARF's Sig has two smaller 4 stars that come with clipped wings but they may be smaller than you will want. If you are restarting with a clean sheet as far as equipment goes and you are going to go with large planes I would power with gas. There are lots of new gas engines that will cost less than comparable power electric setups. If cost is not a factor for you than consider electric. For the average budget flyer, electric is good for park flyers and smaller planes but the costs when you get over a .40 size plane get steep real quick. Let your wallet be your guide.
