I only will be flying it in slopes.
I have 3 years experience in RC flying (mainly warbirds)
Im looking for an ARF about 70 or 80 inches wingspan.
All recommendations are welcomed.

You're not going to find many ARF's in that size range on the shelves of your LHS that would qualify as slopers that will keep your interest for long.

Art Hobby has a quiver of similarly designed slopers, of high quality, priced below $150. I fly their small Colibri, but I just saw a completed Elster the other day. If you saw it your heart would ache with yearning as mine did. He has planes that meet your requirements. http://www.arthobby.com

How about Power Scale Slope (PSS)? Just about any warbird you find convert very well to sloping. Often they're cheap picks at swap meets and auctions.

Good Luck!

[i]Re: look at the kulbutin fs[/B]
I have been flying on the slope for longer than I care to remember, but this plane looks like fun! I haven't ordered one yet but will probably do that soon. I also fly my 135 inch scratch built flat wing on the slope. What a blast.
