Default RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

Been thinking a bit about what plane I'd really like to get. Oddly enough one I've been seriously looking at is a Great Planes P-6E Curtis Hawk biplane. I think that thing looks really cool but it doesn't really seem like my kind of flying and I've heard bipes are difficult (time consuming) to assemble at the field. Sometimes my flight sessions are very limited on time (lunchhour). So I probably won't get one. Another I've looked at is a Great Planes Yak, but I don't like Yaks and it might be a little large. I thought about a Ultra RC Giles but I second guessed myself and didn't buy it. I'm pretty interested in an Aeroworks 60/90 size Edge. I might purchase one of those. And I've been thinking about a Giant sized UCD. I've researched the thread on that thing and it seems to be a sleeper. They talked about how agile it is for a large plane and how aerobatic it is. Flys much better KE than the smaller UCDs and is great with waterfall and flats. It's really got my attention. I don't have an engine for it but I guess my choice would be a OS160. And last but not least (some will be very surprised by this) a Funtana. I'd seriously but a OS160 in it. It's the perfect engine. The extra weight would make the plane balance much better and the power would haul the heavy beast around. I guess I just accept the fact it would be 10 lbs and power it accordingly.
But all of the above is just speculation and stuff I've heard.
Thanks
