Hey everyone.

I have a very nice conundrum here that I will need help from the gracious people of RCU. Here's the deal.
I have 2 planes in at different stages of building but I only have the materials to build one of them. I will be using a newish YS 120 (10 flights and break-in) and 8231 servos. Basically, I want to be able to fly one of these planes for next year to intermediate while I build the other one. I need help in choosing which one I should build first since I can only spend about 1 hr a night working on the plane.

Plane 1: Naruke Silent ST from Pattern Tek. (Just a gorgeous plane)
What's been done:

- Firewall and Hyde mount already in place for YS 120 (Thanks Jimmy!)
- Wing tube already set and mounted. (again, Thank you Jimmy!)
- Wings/stab/rudder are sheeted.

What is needed:
- Wing adjusters
- Install the horizontal stab and control surfaces.
- Make holders for servos, etc.
- Install servos, engine, fuel tank, etc.
- Paint and cover.
- Header and pipe.



Plane 2: Chip Hyde Hydeout (full fiberglass body)

What's I have:
- Fiberglass fuse, cheeks, belly.
- Wing and stab cores

What's needed:
- This is basically a kit so I still need to get all the required items and such.


I'm leaning toward the Silent ST since it's "nearly done". Then again, the Hydeout would be an excellent ship that will be good for basically everything. Yet, it may be "too much plane" for intermediate. Then again, do you see what people are flying in this group? Also, the Silent is one heck of a beautiful plane and it would be a rare sight to see in a pattern contest. What do you guys think? Thanks.
