You didn't say if you wanted to buld a kit or get an ARF. If you are interested in a kit, the Top Flight Contender is a good second plane. If you want to see what it looks like and read alot of comments on it just type in "Contender" in the search bar and take a look.
I am currently building one along with a few other folks here at RCUniverse and we are showing our progress.
Just my two cents worth. Good luck with which ever method you choose.
