SIG 4star120, BalsaUSA ThunderBug120 or BalsaUSA Stingray120 all good choices and can frequently be found on eBay or swap meets still in the box for about $100-125 each (the BUSA kits are no longer produced but many still around). Also the Bridi OldTimer and Stick are good choices and are still available (
www.bridiairplanes.com) only $130 including shipping. These are SOLID (albeit somewhat heavy) kits. All will fly decently with a Homie 25cc or Ryobi 31cc weedie conversion (MANY around already converted for about $100 each, eBay). The Bridi kits will REALLY fly w/ a G38. All have decent basic aerobatic capabilities and are fairly tough. All are fairly easy builds (assuming you have SOME building experience). All will require either 5 or 6 servos (depending on whether you use 1 or 2 for elevator control). Standard servos will work, but are marginal, S03T servos from
www.servohut.com are an excellent value and will perform well in any large plane that doesn't require the most crisp airobatics (like 3D). I personally like covering with fabric/paint but that requires additional acquired skills. It can be less expensive and much more durable than MoneyCote, but if you are not familiar with it, the plastic wraps are easier.
