Yo Ron, A good friend of mine soloed on an Avistar last year and eased in to a 4*60 no problem. Picked right up on it being a tail dragger and all without a hitch. I didn't think you wanted to go larger, but you will like this model. Looks kinda like a Warbird on a fly by. He added some white to the top of the wing up front and on the hor. stab. with a little bit on the vert. stab. Really changed the look without a lot of work. I'll dig you up a pic. Later, Joe
