Sig Fourstar is a good choice. They build very easy, they are laser cut and go together like a jig saw puzzle. Flies well too! that would be my sugestion! Billy Van

Sorry for taking this off topic, but Yub, Yub, are you coming to our Fun-fly in Westborough tomorrow?

By the way, the Four Star is a good option.

Either the 4* or a Tiger by Goldberg. Depends on if you want tail dragger or trike.

I would go with the Sig 4*. I have the 120 and have flown the other
sizes as well. All are super quality and fly well

How did the scale meet go at Westbough ?

4* 40 is great, I don't know the others, in building or flying, but After Tower Trainer 40, I got the 4* 40 and building was easy, I had the maiden yesterday, it was great.

Take a look at the pictures,

go to http://www.galip.net/Sig4Star

Goldberg's Tiger 60 is an excellent 2nd plane kit. The kit is very well done, with excellent plans and quality of parts. It assembles easily and is a very nice flying plane.
I put one together after building and flying the goldberg eagle 2 and i was delightfully impressed. I am a goldberg fan for life now!

I have to second the Venture 60 from BTE. It is my second plane, a great kit, and it is great in the air. In addition, Bruce also did the 4*40 and 4*120 designs so this is a new and improved version of those planes.

I'll second this recommendation! Bruce Tharpes designs build great and fly better! You simply will not regret getting a V60 from BTE!
