Default RE: 40 or 60 size kit to build

It’s so very disappointing how the popularity of the ARFs are squeezing out all the good kits. Try naming more than a few 40 or 60 size, symmetrical tapered low wing, trike gear, neat looking and fun to fly kits.

I found the following on the Tower website:

1. Sig King Kobra 60
2. Top Flite Contender 60 (not really a tapered wing and ugly, sorry Dave)
3. Great Planes Patriot 40 and 60
4. Sig Kougar Mark II 40

I’m finding that ebay is becoming the best source of good kits, e.g. Qwik Fli, Kaos, Tipo, Currare, UFO, Phoenix. I’m not sure how many kits are still out in ebay land but I’m thankful, that I have my Kaos, Tipo and taper wing Qwik Fli.

Looks like building from plans or scratch building is in our future!
