I agree about the Easy Sport 40 as I am finishing my second one up now. It's a great flying plane and it won't disapoint you. It is a bit more building then the 4* and if building techniques is something that you want to learn then by all means look at this plane. Now I'm not saying that it's difficult, just a little more to do then the others, but rock solid as can be!!!!! The other one that I would look at and is always over looked is the SIG Mid Star 40, what a fun flying plane and not hard to build. I had a ball with mine till a bad Rx battery brought it down.
