And what engine?

Most people will quote their latest and greatest airplane. I'm no different I guess, but I have about 2 years on a OMP 67" Fusion. It will 3D, it will IMAC ,and it will sport fly. It is a profile and some want a full fuse. This is just the best plane I have flown in 20 years of flying. It is so solid in any maneuver and has no bad habits. Mine has a Saito 1.25. Lot's of guys are using OS1.20AX if you want a two stroke. If you are looking smaller and don't care about 3D capability. A Sig Something Extra is a great airframe also. It is easy to haul around with a 2 piece wing, is available in kit or ARF and can be powered with a smaller engine. I have a Saito 72 on mine but the plane is just as happy with a good .45-.55 two stroke.

A 4 Star 40 with an OS 40 FP on it for power or a Tiger 2 with a 40 FP on it. Tough question as I really enjoy both those planes. Good Luck, Dave

It would be an Ugly Stik or variant with a suitable engine.

Thats difficult for me. My fleet is half aerobats and half scale. But I would choose the Kougar also. That plane just flies great.
