Have a Trainer that I leared to fly with.... then build a ARF Ultra Stik.... now looking to try my first kit. Any suggestions on which one to build. Looking for a 72"-85" mid wing plane. I was told this would be the next progression in my flying experience. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Look at Bruce Tharpe's planes...especially his Venture 60....GREAT kit to build, and flys better than a Sig 4* (IMHO)

I second the Venture 60. I've never seen a nicer kit. The Sig Somethin' Extra is also a good easy build, although shorter WS than you asked about.

go to: wwwbtemodels.com or call 1-800-557-4470 for Bruce's line of kits.

Partway through mine. Great deal on the glue kit, fuel tank, and wheel pants, also.
This is my first kit in 30 years. Covering takes more time and attention than the wood, which goes together quite quickly due to the way the parts for the kit are provided.
