ORIGINAL: AAVN60

I was going to buy the Seagull PC-9 but apprantly is was discontinued, so.....Now i'm looking into the Hanger 9 T-34 Mentor, Great Planes Cessna 182 and the Chapman CAP 580 .46. Just wondering which is a good solid aircraft, not to hard on the build and is a stable in the air. Thanks in advance!
A warbird: T-34
A civil A/C: Cesna 182
An aerobatic: Cap 580

Of the three I would chose the Cap 580 but thats because I prefer aerobatic flying. Both Hanger 9 and Great Planes make nice planes with similar good points as well as bad points so it comes down to what model and type of flying are you most interested in. I don't think any of them would be hard to build and the T-34 Mentor would probably be the easiest of the three to fly as it is a sport scale model, like my Hanger 9 Spitfire Mk II. It is also a good in between the two other planes for aerobatic ability.
