ya gaRCfield keep your newbie comments to yourself, LOL, just kidding.
I do try, honestly

So what are planes that would suit the OP's engine find (26cc gasser) and his flying style? Just because the gasser won't be right for the Tiger 60 doesn't mean he should give up on the gas idea.
As I said above, 4-Star 120, and another post that pointed out Tiger 120. These are excellent planes for this size engine.

OK, going to jump in here. I have a Tiger 60 with a Saito 82, and it's going to stay that way. But I also have a 26cc gasser that I had plans for. BUT, a couple of guys at my club (that I recently joined, best thing I have ever done, but that's a story for another day/thread!) HIGHLY suggested that I get a plane without a cowl for my first gasser. This was to make it easier on myself for learning the ins-and-outs of gas engines. Really just don't care for the Stick style of plane, and so I was pretty set on a Four Star 120. Then you guys mention the Tiger 120! But, I like building from a kit, so is there any other open front (non-cowl) 120 size kits that are a sport plane type kit that you guys might suggest?
Thanks
