Default RE: Phoenix Scanner - or is something else better?

Hi all.

Getting back into this after 5 years on the sidelines. Just a quick one hoping you might have a suggestion for a good plane. I had a typical high wing trainer (100+ flights) and a Phoenix Scanner (100+ flights) and flew them pretty well in the end. I am thinking about a scanner again due to its reasonable price and it flew pretty well last time but thought you guys might know of something better!? My main criteria are...

1 - Looks like a plane but not a 100% scale or war bird needed... (Scanner a bit ugly?)
2 - Reasonable price
3 - Flies well but not 3D or anything like that
4 - .46 size

Any ideas? I thought the Hangar 9 Pulse looks good but about double the price of the scanner...

I recently got the Spektrum DX7 and Phoenix 3.0 sim to start getting my thumbs back so I am itching to get back into it!!

Thanks in advance for the help!

Excellent 2nd plane. think of it as a low wing Ugly Stik in pretty colours.
Flys great, can knife edge better than most low wing constant chord sports planes and is pretty good at most basic to intermediate aerobatics.

Well worth a look and some cash changing hands
