Default RE: Which one first?

Well, the dead-line is approaching, the gp extra is almost ready for covering, and final assembly, so right now, it's still a 3 way battle. I'll give you a little more info on the top 3 contenders engines and setups being used.

The smoothie, currently #1- Webra .50 with high torque analog servos( I'm cheap on 40 size planes)

The hostetler skybolt #2- OS FF320( Flat 4 Cylinder), 1/4 scale servos, large Lipo with voltage regulator for servos and onboard glow system.

The nosen citabria #3- OS gemini 1.60 twin, 1/4 scale servos, large Lipo with voltage regulator for servos and onboard glow system.

 So vote, I'll be extending the bench this next week so I can build the next bird, this time, I'll try to get more shots and a more comprehensive build thread going. I think the most exspensive is going to be the skybolt due to the engine. But that's for a reason, the main one is the sound and it fit's inside the cowl, but the other reason is one of my favorite fields I fly at has a rule, NO GAS. I love gas but I want a classic that can fly any field anywhere without issues.
 Thanks for voting and it will be not long from now, about 2 weeks before a 1, 2, 3 count will be had.
