Sig Fourstar is a good choice. They build very easy, they are laser cut and go together like a jig saw puzzle. Flies well too! that would be my sugestion! Billy Van

Sorry for taking this off topic, but Yub, Yub, are you coming to our Fun-fly in Westborough tomorrow?

By the way, the Four Star is a good option.

Either the 4* or a Tiger by Goldberg. Depends on if you want tail dragger or trike.

I would go with the Sig 4*. I have the 120 and have flown the other
sizes as well. All are super quality and fly well

How did the scale meet go at Westbough ?

Roby

4* 40 is great, I don't know the others, in building or flying, but After Tower Trainer 40, I got the 4* 40 and building was easy, I had the maiden yesterday, it was great.

Take a look at the pictures,

Goldberg's Tiger 60 is an excellent 2nd plane kit. The kit is very well done, with excellent plans and quality of parts. It assembles easily and is a very nice flying plane.
I put one together after building and flying the goldberg eagle 2 and i was delightfully impressed. I am a goldberg fan for life now!

I have to second the Venture 60 from BTE. It is my second plane, a great kit, and it is great in the air. In addition, Bruce also did the 4*40 and 4*120 designs so this is a new and improved version of those planes.

I'll second this recommendation! Bruce Tharpes designs build great and fly better! You simply will not regret getting a V60 from BTE!
