Default Small low wing glow plane Kits?

Are there any smaller low wing glow planes out there? Something in the 25 or smaller range. I want something I can fly in a smaller space and enjoy as much as a bigger plane. I prefer a kit

I have both the Herr P-51 & the HOB P-51. The Herr has a
Norvell .074 & the HOB a very well used OS .20 FP. These
are two of my favorite planes! We hand launch both of these.
I would recommend kits from either of these companies.
Good Luck!

I'm waiting on a delivery from Tower Hobbies.

Lanier Stinger 10 kit. Wingspan about 36" and recommended engine is a 10--15 size.

Of course--I'll be using a .25 for nice vertical.

I'm building it right now...the GP STA Ryan Electric Kit for only 59 bucks!

Yup, GP's website has the whole glow conversion .pdf. I'll be using a .30 4-stroke

49" wingspan , 3, 3 1/2 lbs. , and very classy looking. Check it at Tower or Great Planes

Well, the old Super Sportster 20 kits come up on Ebay from time to time. That is where I got mine. Love it so much I picked up most of the other versions of the plane.

Unfortunately they CAME in a 20 size but do so no longer. One on Ebay right now and the bid is up to $60. I would bid but I am pretty sure I already have a kit stashed away...
