Well, after careful consideration, which includes the amount of green in my wallet, here is the list of the finalists for my next plane. I haven't started thinking about power plants yet, but that will be more productive once I have settled on which plane. If I were to pick the monster pitts, I would like to consider a G-26 for the engine (the one with electronic ignition) but would need more information on whether or not that would be a good idea. I was originally considering a Saito 180 for the plane. (Yes, I have read chickenstickrick's thread and still have not decided.) RCKen, I am sure you will be pleased that two bipes are in the final cut. So it is just a matter of deciding what and when. (BTW - These are not in any particular order.)
1. Laser 200 ARF - $299.00
2. Vectorflight Edge 540 ARF - $149.00
3. DP Ultimate ARF - $399.00
4. CG Monster Pitts - $399.00
Although the Vectorflight ARF is only $149.00, the other costs are in line with what my budget will allow. Just gotta get past my son's college graduation in May, then maybe, it's just a matter of what order I buy all of them in
