Default RE: New Plane Decision

Let me first apologize for not answering directly. You may have your mind set on one of these two airplanes, but if you don't you might want to consider this alternative:

Since you have the Tiger up and flying why not depart from the ARF world and do something that takes a little more time? Buy a kit and put it together. It is very gratifying to see something YOU built take to the air. It also gives you the competence to make repairs after the inevitable crash.

I recently built a GP RV-4 which is very similar in size and performance to the T-34. The kit makes use of a lot of slots and tabs so it is pretty easy to get the alignment on. This isn't the easiest kit to build but if you follow the directions you'll pull it off ok.
Building yourself has a lot of benefits. There's a much wider selection, you know how to make repairs, and it gives you somthing to do in the evenings or when the weather sucks.
