Nest step planes?

If you are going the classic 40 fueler, would strongly recommend Sig 4 Star 40 or Goldberg Tiger II. If you can go for a larger engine, the 4 Star 60 and Tiger 60 are even better. Both can fly slow yet maneuver well. And very slow and steady for lading.

Bruce Tharpe Engineering (btemodels.com) sells a most excellent 60 sized kit, the Venture 60. Tharpe was the designer of the venerable 4 Star and this new plane is an update with the few bugs ironed out. The kit is excellent with great plans and instructions but do not think he is ARFing yet.

Note, you can get instructions to do all these electric if you are into that.
