Default RE: Good First Planes

I'm looking for a 4 channel arf capable of stable flight with decent aerobatic ability (I don't need 3d but would consider growing into it). I was flying a Sig Four Star 40 with a .46 glow engine and want to get into electric.

I love how the Cap 232 flies on the Realflight Simulator. I just want to be able to do knife edges, fly with some speed and fly inverted a lot. I plan to fly on a golf course, so I've been looking for a park flier. I don't have a tremendous amount of room, but I think I have enough for short takeoffs.

Any suggestions?

I've considered the following:
Great Planes Mini Super Sportster (does it have much power?)

Watt-Age Crazy 8

Great Planes P-51 Sport Fighter ARF

Any known threads on converting a Sig Four Star 40 to Electric? I love the way it flies, but don't know if I'd have the room for take-offs and landings.
Thanks,
Jeff
