Default Kit for a Supertiger .75

What would be a nice fun kit to build for a supertiger .75 ? I just don't want a plane that looks like every other plane at the field. I am not in the mood for a scratch build, just a mindless easy goin kit to build and I want to put a unique scheme on it. Just finished a scratch built A-10 and a Goldberg Ultimate bipe kit. I have the supertiger and the radio for it, just need to figure out what to build. It's either a kit or a nice ARF. Any input on enjoyable kits to build would be nice to hear.

Or a Super Sportster 60. Very wide flight envelope.

This may not be the easiest thing, but I bet there won't be many at the field:

Bridi Killer or Utter Kaos. These come up on Ebay all the time. In fact I think there is a Killer Kaos on Ebay right now. I havent built one (yet) but I did build the Tower Hobbies version and have both a Killer and Utter Kaos waiting under my bench to be built. They fly like they're on rails. Super Sportster 60 would be good also. *****in looking plane in my opinion. Also have one waiting to be built but just finished building the O.O.P. 20 sized version.
I have a pile of kits waiting to be built, actually. Problem is deciding just which one to build!

4*60 can be eaisly modified in all sort's of ways. Mine flew very nicely at half throttle with the super tiger .75 12x8 zinger

any plane that will take a 60 will fly that engine great. Build whatever trips your trigger! There are a lot of good looking planes out there. What excites you?

I don't know about the other fields but at mine a four star 60 is definitely not unique. Good bird to fly but not unique. If you want a easy build kit, and you want to be unique with a bunch of different paint schemes to pick from I would go with something like Top Flite's P47D Thunderbolt. They even sell a header and in-cowl muffler specifically for the Supertigre .75 along with operable scale drop tanks and other stuff like that. I'm the only one out of many that has a P47D razorback at my field, and is going to look way too cool when I drop that scale 108 gallon center drop tank. At least to me, because it is the first that I've built that will actually drop something.

4 stars are as thick as the hair on a dog's back at my field. I was kickin aro an Extra or a CAP. I know CG has an Extra 300, not sure if there are others around that size in a kit that would fly well with that engine.

I'm using the ST75 in my Avicraft Panic, good combination and a nice flier.

I have been kickin aroung the Goldberg Extra 300 .60 size, I have been leaning torward Goldberg because of the way the last Goldberg I built went together. Tha Ultimate Bipe kit was a joy to build, I am not planning wild 3d with this one, I have a showflyer for that, just looking for a nice flying aerobatic plane. Would the .75 pull this plane ok ? I see that Tower suggests an OS .61FX on this plane, and I have onea those in my showflyer and it's a nice and strong motor. I have head good things about the SiperTigers, so I am thinking this would be a nice fit.

Joe the 75 would not do it well. You really need the 90 or bigger in that plane. They just seem to need it. I saw one with a 61 in it. It flew and that is all. A ST 90 fixed that.
