Hi all,

I have just recently gotten back into the hobby after 7 or 8 years.
Things have changed a lot! More ARF's then kits, all the 3d stuff etc.

When I got out of the hobby I had progressed to the point of taking
the next step up in planes. I had been flying a AeroSport 40, built
with a straight symmetrical wing, similar to the stick planes. I had
a YS45 with a tuned pipe running a 10x10 or 11x6 size props. The
plane was pretty quick.

It has been a few months since I returned to flying and have regained
all my previous flying ability. I feel 100% comfortable flying the AreoSport
with the YS and want to move to the next plane. At this time I am able to
fly inverted comfortably, a little knife edge, loops, inverted loops, most of
the other things that the plane is capable of.

For the short term I have ordered a Sig Somthin Extra and plan on installing
the YS 45 in it. I hope this will be a good plane to learn on (low/mid wing tail
dragger)!

I guess my question is what plane/engine (kit or arc) (.60, maybe .90 size if I
can afford it) combo would you recommend that is both capable of good aerobatics
with a little 3d, and a lot of speed?

I would like something that would slow down to a reasonable speed for landing,
however my AeroSport has a wing loading of around 28 oz so I don't need a
floater!

The WideBody 60 looks great, as well the Epsilon.

Thanks for your help.
