RE: Curious to know about different plane options.
The T34 as mentioned is a great plane. The World Models Super Sports is another good choice. A Goldberg Tiger 2 is almost the same size as your trainer but well worth a look. It can be built as a trike gear or a tail dragger and has a wide speed range. I have read good things about the Great Planes Rapture but its a newer model so haven't seen one at our field yet. [8D]
