Default Good first kit after flying ARFs?

Hi Guys,

I got in to this hobby eager to fly, and learned on a Hobbico Avistar ARF. I'm now flying a GP Extra 300S .40 size ARF, and a Sig Somethin Extra ARF. My flying has gotten much better, and now I'd like to build a plane from a kit. I've built an electric 31" wingspan model from a kit (Switchback from mountainmodels.com) but not a glow plane.

The problem I'm seeing is that most "beginner" kits (i.e. look easy to build) also look like they will be a bit boring to fly after my Extra and Somethin Extra. Basically I'm an intermediate RC pilot but a rookie builder.

Can anyone offer advice on a kit that is a good "beginners" kit but that is more chellenging to fly?

Thanks,

Carl
