Looking for a good kit
 

I currently have 4 planes I fly:

AcroPhat
Unicorn Wing
Dandy Sport
SwitchBack 3D

So its time to build the next one. For this one I wanted it mostly a modeling experience, I have plenty of planes to fly. I would not mind building it from scratch, but definitely want a park flyer. Maybe convert a rubber plane to electric, or build one of the really old looking things like an Eindecker or Wright flyer.

I do want to be able to fly this, and land it in grass without tearing it up.

Suggestions?

I've had an idea about converting a House of Balsa rubber band glider to electric.

My first balsa build was a scratch build of the Gym Swallow

It was much easier to build than I thought and it flies nicely. I even built a sport wing with ailerons so I could learn to fly full house. It is still very gentle and is great for small areas. It is not at all aerobatic but it looks like you have plenty of those hot planes already. If you want to slow the pace and build something out of parts you fabricate, you might enjoy it. It is very satisfying to build something from a few sheets of balsa, an arrow shaft (for the fuse), some piano wire, and some Reynolds wrap (although I used Solite for the wing and horiz stab).
