If you havn/t flown R/C lately, My opinion is the SIG SENIOR KADET. It's an ARF, they come in Blue, and Red. Around $225.00 plus shipping. I started with this plane, put an O.S. 55 AX in it and it fly's like a dream, Big wingspan,80" so it's easy to see. I liked it so well, I bought another one, put floats on it, and a .91 OS 4 stroke, and I just love it. Check them out at Sig Manufacturing .
