Thanks for info thus far. The FOcus Sport is sold out, besides it would have cost nearly $300 to ship it to South Africa!!

I'd prefer not to fly an electric. I do know they are the rage at the moment and an absolute must for F3A category but a decent motor and batteries WILL break the bank. I'll need at least 6packs to get decent amount of flying in on a practice day. I amy still opt for 25e size for practising in the park dow the road from my home.

Right now I'd prefer to stick with Methanol or opt for the new DLE 20cc gasser.

Accipiter looks good. The controls surfaces are huge so I guess its similar to a Showtime?
