Default Electric Aerobatic kit?

i like all of the Great Planes and E Flite designs, but i can't seem to fing one in a kit. I am looking for something in the park flyer size range, and i want it to look scale. (i.e. not a profile or stick fuse) And yes, it MUST be a kit. Any suggestions?

Check out www.sigmfg.com They have lots of kits.
I picked up the Herr Mini-sport.
Its designed to fly on a small 280 sized brushed motor with NiCads. You can convert it to a brushless LiPo for less weight and more power. Here is my build thread:

This was my first kit ever and I'm convinced that if I'd had the time, this could have been completed in a weekend.

There are threads out there where people have added ailerons.

People like these kits as well:

I'm sure you can get some other recommendations, but its a place to start.

Thanks guys, i'm having a bit of trouble trying to decide between one of those and this:

I really like it since it's small, and can be flown in my front yard. It also penetrates wind really well, so i could fly it at the beach without excess amounts of ballast. I do however, want something that can do a little bit of aerobatics, so i think I am going to go with the Floh. Thanks for your input anyway guys.
