I would say that the Rapture would be the next logical progression.

I think my build of the Easy Sport has lead readers to think that was my first kit or that I've recently graduated from a trainer.
I have in fact built/flown many types of planes for many years. The Easy was built as a relaxing Sunday Flyer and possible trainer for a friend.
I currently have a 1/4 scale Cap 232, Decathlon, and couple of HoB Texan pylon racers.
I've recently lost a couple of planes due to a bad Futaba Transmitter:
Midwest Mustang .60, World Models Cap 232 46, .40 Stick.

If you're interested in a profile FF type plane, I would drop the Su-Do-Koi and look at a Mojo (40, 60, or 65"), Chinn Yak or any of the OMP planes. They are all several generations newer designs and perform MUCH better in every respect. Priced better, even...

Say Name,

The list above is what I already have waiting in the closet.

Just can't decide what to start. I'm leaning towards the Bearcat. (Since I've already started it...)

I voted P-47.
From the WWII movies, and building plastic kits as a kid, that's one of my favorite planes.

Well, I voted for the P-39, as that's one of my favorites. I am building a 1/4 scale Bert Baker P-39 now. But I bet you would have a ball with that F-82. I have seen one fly. While not too scale, it's a supurb flying machine.
