Default RE: Slow vs Fast flying Planes

The GWS slowstick is much slower than I am looking to go to. I will need something that I can fly in a little wind.
I don't want to slow down much more than the Spitfire. I was a little surprised that it didn't slow more with zero throttle.
So I want to keep that in mind when i buy my next plane.
Here is a question, 3D planes have a lot of wing area, would that be a air frame to look at the next time I go to purchase a plane?
I have a little cordination to fly. But a quick back ground. I have raced cars, trucks and 4wd since the late 80's and I look to flying as a relaxing hobby.
I am done with racing vechicles and I want to fly but I want it to be relaxing and not stressful. I haven't flown since the spring or early summer and this being the first flight in that time the plane was a little more than I wanted. Now that being said after I am back to flying once every other week this plane will be fine but I expect I will want to get a plane that is a little less in speed. I will more than likely get something that is faster to fly when I need it.
I apperciate all the feedback as flying is still new to me and I find it very enjoyable and I want to know more.
Thanks
