Ok, I am sure this has been asked before but the market always changes.

I am looking for a winter project in the 100CC class for an IMAC / 3D plane. I want to build a kit, not an ARF. I like Extra airframes. I am not really into Yaks (no offense to those that love them). I would like to know what those of you that build would buy.... and here is the kicker......Why? I am very interested in the flying capability also, so if you had one built for you, feel free to chime in also on the flying side. I do not want to build a pig or a kit that needs tons of "mods" to be top shelf, unless they are easy to find information on.

Without bashing another product, please tell me why you would pick your suggestion.

This will be my first over 30% plane. Not my first build. I feel that in the past I have always built straight, light, sound airframes that flew well off of the table. Mechanically very sound is easy, the kicker is taking the time to give it a premium finishing job. By that point in a build, the draw of the smell of exhaust an blue sky tends to put a rush on. Having other planes to fly at this time reduces that monkey, I hope.

Ok. Have at it! What am I building?
