Help me find the right plane
I've been away from the hobby for over a year but I just had cataract surgery on both eyes and I'm back. I need help finding the right plane for one of my G-26s. I was thinking of the GP Giant Super Chipmunk but it looks like I would need to really mess up the cowl for that to work. I'm looking for a plane that would give similar flight performance and be low-wing instead of shoulder- or mid-wing. I won't be doing 3D or competing but I like spirited sport flying - the GP Super Sportster is a little too tame.
I'm wondering what kind of performance I could get from the SIG Extra 300XS. Or, is there some other plane I should be looking at?
I'm looking at everything I can but you guys might save me a lot of wasted effort if you can direct me to something I don't know about or fill in my knowledge about stuff I've seen before.
Please, let me know what you think.
