I can't say it enough: you can't beat a Cub, every hangar should have at least one. And I'd recommend Sig's 1/5 scale if you go that way, 84.5 inch wing, flies very well on a .60-something 4-stroke, and there are several military schemes you can go with, the easiest being an NE-1 which is a standard Cub with a three color blue/gray Navy camo pattern. If your skills are good enough, it's a straightforward job to convert it and put a greenhouse in it as an L-4.

There are several BirdDogs also available. I've heard that Jack Stafford Models (JSM) is going out of business, but they have a nice kit of the L-19 if you can find one, and Vailly Aviation (Roy Vaillancourt) has plans available for both 1/5 and 1/4 scale. Get a good kit cutter (Precision Cut Kits) to cut the kit for you, the 1/5 scale shouldn't be too difficult as a 3rd or 4th kit.

Both planes are easy flyers after you have a bit of experience (gotta learn the rudder!).
