I'll throw one more in the mix for you to look at just because I think she's soooo purty! I think she is very similar to the 4* only better looking. I may be wrong because I too am still a rookie RC pilot

But I'm gonna find out soon enough cause it's what Santa brought me. It is the Dragon Lady 60-90. RcKen commented that he flew one & it is an excellent flier, & that if they offered it in a kit he would buy one in a heartbeat! I will put up a link for you to look at if you're interested. It is a larger plane that would require buying another engine, it is however very affordable as an ARF. Hobby people list it for $169, they had it on sale last week for $149. I don't know if that price is still good or not, but I found it at the LHS for $159 so either way it's not too expensive. If you planned to use your engine from your stick then obviously you will want to stick with the .40-.46 size like Minn suggested. Good luck in your decision making process, hhhm! so many planes, so little time!lol
