Hi all! I need your help. My first plane was a Sig Kadet Senior (kit, not AFR) and I followed that with the Top Flight Contender as my second plane. The other three planes I have waiting to be built next are the Balsa USA Northstar, the Great Planes Phantom F4 (which I plan to convert to electric), and finally the JHH 123% Tomcat F14. My question is, what would be the best plane to build next after becoming very proficient with the Kadet and Contender. Obviously, the Tomcat will be the very last because that is what I ultimately aspire to be able to pilot. With that said, between the F4 and Northstar, which would be a good candidate for a third plane? Or should I buy and build a different plane all together to enable me to migrate toward those two? Any advice you all can give me would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

I don't feel either one would be that good.

From what I have heard, the delta wing is going to be a handful for you. Perhaps something along the lines of a Patriot or Kougar would be more appropriate. They are swept wing and, at least with the Patriot, VERY responsive and fast. This might be more appropriate so as to get you used to a faster and more responsive plane.

IF you have to go with what you have, do the Northstar, it should be the easier of the two to fly.
