I would second the Paige R-2. I have the plans from RCM. It would be a challange from plans. A kit less so. They are supposed to fly nice. They look really cool. I saw a Paige R-2 at Rheinbeck this year. Nice plane. If a warbird is to your taste. How about a Skyshark kit. Or a SIG smith miniplane. Great flier and a challanging build. good luck whichever way you go. Oh one last suggestion. Go to the RCM web site and scan through thier plans. Find something that gets your socks smokin and buy the plans and build it. Good plans at a great price. Check out this month's RCM. Dick Sarpoulis has a neat plane in the construction article.
