You didn't mention whether or not you wanted an ARF or are OK with building a laser-cut kit. I'm also wondering if you want something now, or would a few months from now be OK? Here are some suggestions--being SPA-oriented, these are also popular SPA planes:

--I'd certainly agree with the Kaos-but it isn't really what I'd call "big"
--Tiger 60 is also a good choice

--Airborne Models is going to re-introduce their "new and improved" Intruder 90 ARF in the next couple months. It is a great performer, very popular with SPA, but you may or may not need some help at the beginning.
--Home and Hobby Solutions kits the Taurus, (Primus) 70"span laser cut kit. This is a GREAT flying plane. They are also going to be releasing a new King Altair kit, (my favorite plane) in the next few months. This plane has an 80" span, yet can fly well on a .60 2-stroke or .91 4-stroke.

--Two other ARFs that are excellent pattern trainers, but a bit smaller are the Airborne Models
T-34 Mentor, and Cermark's Javelin. They both have 58" spans, and are real bargains.

I've included a couple pictures--the King Altair and Javelin are in the back. The Intruder 90, (original version) is on the front right side. The red/orange/white plane is my new Altair

Hope this helps
