Default Advice on choosing 120 size kit

Good day all.
Looking for a winter build in a 120 size plane and wanted to know if anyone can recommend one. Have a few builds under my belt already.
I looked at the SIG 120...any other suggestions? Thanks!

Why don't you tell us what kind of planes you like? Warbirds? Aerobatic? Scale civilian? Etc.

Carl Goldberg Ultimate: While this is a 90 size plane it would do well with a 1.20 or small light weight gas

Sig 1/4 scale Space Walker: Just call them to ensure it is in stock. They are having truble fullfilling orders right now.

Kits are getting harder to find, especially large ones. So I will be watching this thread with personal interest as well

the spacewalker 2 is a good choice as is the sig 120.if you like bipes try a dynaflight se5a mine flies freat with a 120.I am in the process of finishing my spacewalkerfrom a sig kit you can also buy it from tower which may turn out to be easier than dealing with sig directly and you can probably save a couple bucks with towers cupons.when I bought mine I paid 159 and free shipping cause I amn a member of the buyers club.

Tower is dropping a lot of SIG kits. I've bought directly from SIG several times this year and it is hassle free and quick. No Problems, there.

I am currently building a Great Planes Extra 300S. I plan on putting my Saito 120 in it. I think it should have plenty of power.

Tower has not "dropped Sig", that is what I thought too at first. Sig has been having trouble with their supplier and subsequently problems fulfilling orders. So Tower has decided to not list Sig's products untill the situation is resolved. With that said, I would call Sig direct (easy to do and a real person answers the phone) and ask about what you might be interested in. If it's in stock.... order it.
