We're sorta spoiled here.
I wouldn't call it spoiled. We just aren't as willing to give all our money to the government in taxes.

[said as tax season is approaching to remind us how over-taxed we are here!]
LOL... with an average of 50% of your total income going to taxes... we aren't willing to give it to the government? We just don'e see it as clearly when it dissapears in the automatic witholding.
Average of 30% in income tax + FICA... then state income tax in most states... then sales taxes, then property taxes, then the hidden taxes in gasoline... and it just keeps going and going.... Taxes are like the Energizer Bunny... they just don't quit.

There's problems with making a recommendation on your 4th plane...

You crunched a trainer via pilot error.
We won't all recognize the style of those models you listed. (I've heard of none of them before...)
We've never seen you fly.

Solve any 2... and we can make some good recommendations. (hmm... one can't be eliminated can it? )

I'm going to say that maybe you should get something that looks like the Sig Four-Star 40. Similar characteristics will give similar performance... so look at the Sig Four-Star here: www.sigmfg.com

Check out the span, area and flying weight recommended. look at the basic proportions INCLUDING control surface to fixed surface areas.

If you can find something locally that is similar in design.. stick that .40 on it with a 11X4 prop and you should get some good flying out of it.
