RC Ken spent an awful lot of time getting the list together in his post which is the second one in the Beginners Forum.

Take a look through this listing. He even provided a link to each aircraft listed. Each and every one is a great choice. I've flown at least four of the planes in that list and trained on two of them and have trained others on two of them. They are all worthy of consideration, and any one of them that you may choose will make a good choice.

PS. Many of the OS LA engines are being discontinued or have been discontinued.
