Hangar 9 Ultra Stick.
It also has the most fun per ounce of fuel, too depending on your radio.

No you don't! The Ultra Stick comes with two sets of ailerons so you can set it up in a standard setup (5 servos, 1 in each wing) or with flaps/spoilerons. If you want all the bells and whistles you will need a computer radio and 7 servos (2 in each wing) You can use a standard radio with a reversing Y-harness on the ailerons to fly it in the standard setup and it will fly great.
I have owned and flown both the .40 and .60 sized Ultra Sticks. I gave the .40 size one away to a young man in my club who needed to step up from his trainer and he has about 50 flights on it. I still have the .60 which I think is the better flyer of the two, but they are both great airplanes and I would recommend them both. My .40 sized Ultra Stick had an old Webra Blackhead .40 on it when I had it. It flew with plenty of power but it was certainly not a 3-D machine. The young man I gave it to put an O.S. Max .46 FX on it and really woke it up! It seems to like the extra power so lean towards a .46 or .50 when you choose the engine.

I have a Hanger 9 Ultra Stick 60 with a Saito 100, and a Hanger 9 Super Stick 40 with a OS 50 SX. Love 'em both!

. . and I'll third the Ultra Stick!

I've flown mine with 2 and 4 stroke engines from 46 to 91 and it flies great with all of them!
