First question, what size of plane are you looking for? That is going to be the biggest factor. If you want a 35-40%, Then I would suggest the CARDEN kits.

Aeroworks 25% Edge 540 is a kit.
It flies VERY NICE. Would need a little bigger elevator and rudder for good 3D IMO. It's light. Should come in under 10 lbs unless you get crazy with the epoxy.
Problem? Its $275 for the kit[X(]
WAYYYYYY overpriced for a box of sticks and foam.
Man, if your willing to build a 28% plane--then just go ahead and build a 30--35%. I wish I had done this instead of building a bunch of 27% kits and assembling 2 of the 28% ARFs.
The servos are all the same on these bigger planes. You might need a couple more, but your coreless servos with 90--100oz torque will fit in a 30-35% plane just as easily.
LOTS of manufacturers make Edge kits in this size.
Get an 80--100cc engine and go for it.

I have an Aeroworks 25% Edge, no modifications, with a Moki 1.80. The plane will hover at 1/3 throttle, and does great precision aerobatics. However, it is no comparison to my Midwest Cap 232, 27%, in 3D flying.
I'm about ready to give up on that particular Edge flying 3D. Don't get me wrong, I like the Edge, but the Aeroworks 25% is not designed for 3D. I have seen what the bigger Carden Edge can do, and that looks like fun!
Just be sure to spend the money, and get an awesome motor for your plane!

Kits will be available soon. TRULY the lowest wingloading out there in a 30% 50cc Edge. A real 3D thoroughbred.
