To get back on track, here's my 2 cents..

(Anyone talk about 1 bladed props?!)

Go for teh 4 star. i loved mine, and am planing a second very soon. The SE can and will be hotter than the 4 star, but as we've all said, depends on your flying style, your competence, and what you wnat to do. remeber, you're looking at a mid mounted symetrical wing vs. a low wing semi symetrical...

My room-mate & co-flyer loves his SE, in fact, he's recently built #2 because he missed hi SE, even with and Extra 300 hanigng on the wall..

Personally, I love Sig kits..

There are a few others you might want to think about as well, aslo depending on your building skills..
The Slow Poke sport 40 & Peten' Poke from Greast Planes are 'neat' looking planes, and I feel docile enough for a second plane

The Thunderbug from Balsa USA

The Mid Star by sig

The COntender, can't remeber the manuf though..

Any J-3 cub..

Try a decathelon, if your skills lean towards the SE..


But typically, the 4 star is ALWAYS the seocnd plane..
