Default What Next?

OK I admit it, I am a new addict! I spent most of the spring and summer learning to fly on my trusty Boomerang XL. I still love it and plan to keep it but am looking forward to my next jet and could sure use some good suggestions on a reasonable progression.

I was sort of leaning towards something in the 20lb class, most likely using a Jet Cetral Rabbit or Falcon as I already have a JC turbine in my Boomerang. I fly mostly at my local club field which has a 400 foot paved runway so a plane that could work there would be nice. At this point in my short turbine career I think a good scale or sport jet would fill the bill for my next project.

Any suggestions on a good airframe to help deepen my addiction?

I have a Comp ARF Flash with a rabbit installed. It took me 6 months to decide on an airframe and I couldnt be happier.

Comp-Arf Eurosport is a blast to fly, 28lbs of blow gives spirited performance, but limited verticals.. 36lbs in it makes it a missle

I've got a Titan SE in my Flash, IMO the best sport jet out there and flies great on a 20 pounder and is a blash with 30+. The BARF running a close second because it's twice the price and with the wing attachment system it takes forever to assemble it at the field.

Here is another vote for the Aviation Design Scorpion. If I were looking for another sport jet, this one would be very high on the list. A Jet Central Super Eagle would be perfect for this one.
