Vangmel, I had a Seagull Arising StAR and it was a good plane. I found the landing gear to be rather weak and eventually made it a tail dragger. That really made it a better plane. It is pretty easy to do. Sadly, one day while flying it the wing split in the middle joint. I might suggest being really thorough when gluing the wing halves and I would even carefully cut out the covering about 1/2 inch each side of the center join and laying down a piece of fiberglass cloth to reinforce it. Otherwise I think you'll be happy with the plane.
