Do you want to build? or an ARF,

If you like to build, and you consider this first plane a step up, then I would recommend a Xtra-2000, a complete wood design from the former (multiple) Dutch F3A champion. In holland about 60% - 70% of the planes the competition is this Xtra-2000, and because there are also two smaller versions (one for a 15cc, one for 8cc) also the pilots with limitted money can buy a plane that really flies well.

The text in the link is in dutch, but there are a lot of pictures....

Last year this plane won from much more expensive planes like angel shadow, Alliance etc....

Good luck,
