Status: offline 		I'm looking for a good 3D plane that won't break the bank and will easly take the DLE 20. Something with good low speed characteristics both in flight and landing.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

But I could wrong about the name .

The DLE 20 is a perfect match for it.

I would recommend building a Swanyshouse MoJo65 or Balsastore Sbach65. WWRC (Wrongway) is also just releasing a 20CC bird.

I'll actually agree with him on the Velox, a nice change from the average run of the mill plane.
The AW maybe more suitable if confidence level is lower, The velox is not meant to be cart-wheeled across the runway.

Status: offline 		The Velox is ARF for sure, yeah its a bit more spendy, but it will fly and be more enjoyable than less expensive models.
There are lots of choices, really depends on skills and $$ available.

Being in Canada makes things a bit more difficult

Status: offline 		the new peak/redwing/aerobees yak profile flys really well, it has a big wing at 1050 sq/in and weighs 7 pounds 8 oz dry, designed around the dle 20 and no lead is required to balance. And its cheap in the USA.

The down side is its not strong unlike a kit profile, like most arfs one bad crash she will be destroyed. 

My next profile will be a swanyhouse mojo 65 unless someone brings out another arf that is stronger.

Just want to say im in no way linked to the sale of these models.

I have one, and yes they are great 3D airframes, but unfortunately being redesigned ( should be available this summer hopefully). I too have a Swanny Mojo and dig it as well.

+ 1 on building any of the mentioned kits. It doesn't take long at all. Here's my Balsastore Sbach 65.

Now if I don't harrier land it how much area does it take to bring a mojo in.
My field at home is only a 40 size field.

Status: offline 		As little as you need. The plane is capable of zero runway, anything beyond that is up to your ability. I have walked along side of mine. So how slow you can go is how slow you go. I will also say as little as possible, those gear are not for rolling far.
