ORIGINAL: forestroke
the Zen 30 is an awesome plane and with the TT36 is an absolute screamer!!!
quality is tight and the flying characteristics are awesome. serious... one of the best planes out there in that size for that class. and... it's very pretty. prettier than any small pattern plane.
I opened up the box again yesterday. The finish is great. A bonus is that the wing is one piece, and the vertical stab is already part of the fuse. Assembly should be pretty quick. Interesting that you mentioned the TT36, I happen to have one that's NIB. I'm still thinking about whether I want a 2 stroke, or if I might want to try something like a Saito .56 in it. It'll partly depend on how much room there is under the cowl.
but i voted for the Cub. it was a toss up between the Cub and TM. but it really depends on what is already in the hanger!
Right now I've got no high wing or slow flying planes. The slowest thing I've got is a Tower Uproar, but while that can fly slow, it rolls so easy that it takes full attention. Getting either the Cub or TM flying would be a nice change of pace.
