The Cutlass is another one to consider. That was my first pattern plane back in 1977 and I'm building another one now from a Mini-Flite kit (Actually a Cutlass Supreme, but the kit and the MAN plans are very similar). The original had fixed gear, but retracts were an option in the kit. I started the new one for SPA, but the recent BPA thread has me thinking about putting in retracts...
