Default RE: What Do You Think

I suggest to have a look at the AW 60-90 Extra if you are going to use for sports and pattern flying only. It cant do 3D either. For 3D you have to look at a minimum Yak 90-120 QB.

If you are open to other brands, the GP Reactor 46 with a 75ax or 81A up front is very good for 3D. I am currently flying the same at sea level with a 55AX but havent got to 3Ding her yet. Alternatively you can look at the Showtime 50 which is now back in stock, same engine though. If you have a 91 size engine you can also look at the GP Reactor Bipe which is not in stock right now though (I got on of the last ones before it went out of stock)

If you want to go full 3D, you can look at the Seagull Harrier 90 or GP UCDs. Since you live in the US, 3DHS is also affordable to you

All these airplanes are very good fliers with few bad tendencies. The advantage in using a 3D airplane such as the Showtime, Funtana, Reactor etc is that their slow flying characteristics are second to none. In fact, I have been mostly harrier-ing my Topstar to landing with a 15x4 prop as it flies slower than walking speed. With a 14x6 it flies a bit faster
