If you like the SE, and you like to build, then check out the 3DFreedom at www.ak-models.com . Less than $120 including shipping, but with no hardware that you don't want anyway. It's essentially a scaled up SE, with the exception that it doesn't use a tube and socket for the wing, but rather a funky ply spar and sleeve. On the one I built however, I did modify it for an aluminum wing tube. Here's a pic of the finished item with a Saito 150 on the front. First plane I ever flew that needs no down stick for level inverted flight. I can send pics of the wing tube mod to anyone who wants them.
