Witch plane is better?
I have tried electric, two-stroke and four-stroke glow, now I want to try gas. Two planes that costs the same, 30 cc AJ Slick or 50 cc reactor, which plane would you recommmend for someone who is still learning 3D?

< Learn with a profile. The are WAY more forgiving when you eventually turf it. They also fly great.
Check out the MoJo or Primo from Swanyshouse. Super easy kits to build. If you need an ARF look at the ValueHobby Sabre.

Gas thumbskull gas!!!!
Get yourself a slick, way better than the reactor!! I would go with an EG models Slick and then upgrade when you skills improve to a EF of some flavour.

Both are great flying birds, but I'd still recommend 40-60 size for learning.
There is also the MoJo65 from [link=http://swanyshouse.com/index.aspx]http://swanyshouse.com[/link] which fly's awesome and works well with a DLE-20.

I fly a MOJO 60 with a OS 91 four stroke. It will do everything and then some. Whether its down on the deck or up a few hundred, its an absolute blast. Give it a try, you won't be sorry. Joe. Bay Flyers, Sturgeon Bay Wi.

Denver Jayhawk & Sam-E,
I have never flown either plane, but am interested in the Reactor. Have you guys that say the Slick is better ever flown the Reactor? Do you own one?

Yes it's true, people more concerned with looks than how they fly might not like profiles.

It was the best move ever. I learned so much with that plane, and was so easy/fun to fly. Had an absolute blast. It is now in the hanger - stripped and waiting for a recover. In the mean time I bought an OMP Razor Yak to go to the next level. If the first one was any indication, the Razor Yak must be NUTS! Will be putting together soon.
Im a solid believer now. They are inexpensive, take a beating and really do improve your skills. Just my opinion/experience.

RE: Witch plane is better?
I had an OMP ProYak, but I prefer my EF 60inch Edge, slightly more expensive but it is a class above the OMP in my honest opinion.
My problem with profiles is the space they take up, and the fact you cant really get any good ones in Australia. You have to take the risk and order from overseas. I have bought a few over here and thrown a few in the bin as well, if I lived in the states perhaps I would own one but I do not.
Profiles are a little difficult to electrify as well and I am pretty certain that I would not own another small IC motor other than my helicopters, are there any that are specifically designed for electric.

Neither...
get a 50CC Extreme Flight Yak or Extra...
they are the best!! Definitely woth the money!
for the best bang-for-the-buck 3D training.......
get a DW Foamies yak55
Mike has it as a complete setup, motor ESC, servos or you can equip it as you please...
mine has a Hacker A20-22L, APC 11 x 3.8, Futaba S3114 servos... it flies a lot like my 40% if I tone down the rudder effectiveness....

get a 3dhobby slick or velox or extra sc72.get a DLE30 and go for it.you have a number of choices in the 30cc range.goldwing redwing peak..aeroworks makes very good planes but they are usually heavy! and not cheap..wildhare equally as good and lighter in the pocketbook and sky..
2stroke is ok but I fly gas and electric.I just bought a 59 slick.awesome plane.I love the lightness of electric and the awesome 3d performance.but still a diehard with noise so gas gas gas.nitro ugh!
