I think Duster all the way. I've always thought that looked like a fun plane to fly. It seems relatively simple to build, and will give you more experience with a low wing aircraft. I think you could have lots of fun with it.

Well hopefully it'll turn around soon and perhaps this will help.
Thanks for caring buddy, feeling is stuck I think part of it is the winter that is coming in fast. Also thanks for the suggestions I am really beating my head trying to make take the decission. BTW I am going to build myself a new Charlie (jet) as part of this group build: https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/abc-stem-trifecta-group-build.60572/Ah...that "blahness" has struck you too...I see. Not fun.
I am almost kinda thinking picking 1 from each extreme...something slow and easy for your son and then something to challenge you.
Slow and easy:
-Simple Soarer (obviously)
-Simple Cub (can be made 3 or 4 channel like the TT)
-Bloody Baron....I am kinda partial to it obviously as it's a lightning quick build and it can be flown slow or fast. Plus you could do 3 channel (AET) or 4 channel with it.
-Duster
Challenging:
-Viggen ...obviously
-FT-22 ....these don't appear to be that bad...I have no experience with them though. But still, I'd say you should add some jets to your fleet.
, excited to see if I can make it fly one circut of the field this time, haven't had luck with it last time I tried.

You got me clueless I’ll ask him soon.
Good flying, mayan! "I might not die, so I'm going to go fly." Heck yeah!Hey all! I haven't updated this thread in a while cause there wasn't really much to update with or about. Any ways a while back I went out to the field taking the Easy Edge and Howard DGA-6 with me. I flew both and think it was one of my more successful outings. At first glance the footage that I took seemed trash so I put it aside debating if I was even going to bother editing it. From here to there yesterday I had a night shift and having had the morning shift too I was tried and decided not to take any planes with me to fix or build. Instead I took my wife’s laptop figuring I’d work on it a bit going over new footage I started filming of the DGA-6 build process. I decided I’d do that until I got exhausted and then would try to rest some, found myself going over the footage I took the other day at the field instead. So here you have it two highlights videos of me flying two awesome birds.
HB A/F Easy Edge highlights
Howard DGA-6 aka Mr. Mulligan highlights
I am also super excited because I had a family member do this for me.
And later today I am supposed to get the final product

Plus you've got a 3d printed powerpod for the EAF Edge! You had a good day!
The material is PLA.

Beautiful flights, mayan! I was impressed with your invert with the EAF Edge, then you did it with the darn Master Series Corsair! Hugely impressed, my friend. Well done!
Thanks buddy! Your feedback means a lot to me. I too was impressed how I was able to hold the sticks trying to forget that I was shaking.Beautiful flights, mayan!

Thanks buddy. The Edge was really handing in the wind on throttle management was amazing. The thing that amazed me the most and that you don’t see on video is the amount of times that I just picked it up after a crash and tossed it back in the air. This short video that you saw is actually a combination of of 7-8 videos that led to a crash.
@bracesport thank you! You seem to be following each and every video. What do you want to see next. What do you want to see me fly? Or maybe you want a more informative video like how to do something?@mayan - your flying is great to watch - the next thing I want to try is a roll!
Haven't rolled a plane yet? I began flying with a lot of RET planes as opposed to ailerons and elevons, so it was a while before I did my first roll as well, not too long ago. I've been rolling all of my planes that are capable since and seeing how each one responds. The main thing is keeping visual orientation and keeping the roll steady. Basically the most crucial part is the orientation in which your plane exits the roll, where it's headed when the maneuver finishes, whether you've done it clean or botched it and Dutch rolled or something and came out in a nose down trajectory, or perhaps still inverted...as long as you can see your orientation and have enough altitude to recover you will be fine. Most of the planes I've rolled only roll particularly well at full throttle, so unless you've got a really fast plane and/or a lot of spare thrust, I'd recommend being on full throttle.@mayan - your flying is great to watch - the next thing I want to try is a roll!
If you asked me this same question, my response would be(besides wanting to see you perfect the Howard) a delta! Any delta, a big wide one, a slender one, anything in between from simple park flyers to semi-scale models. You have countless options just with a simple KFM or non-airfoil setup of where to mount the prop and all that, you can do a tractor, pusher, prop in slot, high mount pusher, or even tail nacelle like the Polaris. There's tons of plans out there you can base it off old and new. The only things I'd stay away from are compound delta shapes like the Saab Draken, and T-Tail setups like a Gloster Javelin.
