ah if you're looking for the next step thats a few months away from maidening the thing then  I recommend the Great Planes Escapade or the Gold berg Tiger.
Escapade is a tail dragger while the Tiger is a tricycle. Both awesome low wing trainers.

also consider one of the Ugly Stik replica's from Great Planes, Hanger 9 or anyone really. you can set it up to do almost anything, especially if you opt for one with flaps and a trapezoidal rear vertical fin.

what you really want is something with a semi symmetrical wing with Horner Wing tips (thats the wng tips that look like they have a 45degree chamfer on the end.)
