I've been returning to the hobby over the last year and a half after a 14 year hiatus. After progressing back through a trainer, a super sportster, ultra stick, and somethin' extra, I want to break out the old DB and the like (before the "twitchy thumb" habit from these newer planes gets ingrained). I have several of these older models, but apparently "back in the day" I tended to build heavy, and as best as I remember, those planes tended to be a bit quicker than I am currently used to (older eyes and reflexes). However, I truly miss those old designs that flew like they were on rails, and plan on breaking them out of storage in the near future. Can anyone recommend a plane that handles like the old DB, but is perhaps more sedate, or should I just get one of the new kits and strive to build it light? Basically looking for a slower transition plane back into the old classic pattern birds. I'm NOT interested in 3-D, and not especially interested in ARF's.

TIA
