Actually, a 3d plane would be easier than those. The wings are designed to tip stall which is great for doing spins and snap rolls, but if you get too slow on landings they will cartwheel on the ground. Pull a turn too hard and too fast and you get a lawn dart too. And those aren't the kind of planes you can just ditch in the grass and expect them to be ok. If you do it regularly you'll tear up the covering if nothing else, and since they need you to keep some power on through the landing you'll be picking grass out of the prop every time. Eventually you'll tear out a landing gear or break the wing attachment. Is there not a flying field within driving distance where you can have a good runway to use and some instruction to get your skills back?
