Of the planes on the list, and given the original poster's preference for an ARF, I voted for the Phoenix Dolphin .46 ARF. It's an inexpensive yet high quality ARF that is a very close copy of the Sig Four Star. Phoenix Model ARFs come with a high degree of pre-assembly and they are easy to get into the air quickly.

I own a Tiger 2 and I think it's an absolutely wonderful model. Anybody contemplating which of the myriad of low wing sport planes available today that they should select would do well to wonder why the Sig Four Star and the Goldberg Tiger are so often copied by other designers and manufacturers. These two planes are classics and pilots of every skill level should count themselves lucky to fly one.

There are also no Stik varations on this list at all, which is a shame. The GP Easy Sport .40 and Big Stik .40 ARFs are priced closely to the cost of the Tower Hobbies Voyager and would well be worth considering. Cowls look nice, but they're a pain in the ass. One of the nice things about Stiks is they're ideal for breaking in new engines as you continue to try new planes. Nothing quite like a bare engine mount sticking out from the firewall to ease in cooling and tuning a new engine.
