Default Kit for a .25 size engine

I have a new OS .25 that was given to me by a friend who left the hobby. I was going to put it in a Tequila Sunrise but have read that the plane, while fast and acrobatic, has a small fuel tank and flies like a brick deadstick. I have been flying for about a year and would like a plane appropriate for someone with intermediate skills.

Have a great Christmas Holiday and Happy Flying.

A simple plane with great performance is the Long John 20. Go to http://www.cheaplanes.com/lj20specs.htm

It would go really nice in a Dynaflite Butterfly if you're interested in a slow soaring type of motor glider.

I bought an Aspect Aviation Reflex for an Irvine .25 I have. I crashed the first one, but that was my fault and not the plane. I have a second one waiting till I have time to build it. Its a weird sort of Delta wing.
The guy offers em on Ebay from time to time. I forget his email address but one of the other kits he makes can be found at:

You can get his email address from there if interested.
Here is my original Reflex:

Definitely wont see many of THESE at the field!
