Hello.....I would like a plane that a has alot of performance, that will allow me to grow into it. I like the sport planes, and 3D type. It needs to be friendly, mild at first....but as I get better I can have some real fun. I will be with a trainer, so he won't let me solo with it until i'm ready. The main reason I want to go ahead and get one ready is I have the money now, if I don't now, the wife will spend it....lol. I LOVE the Extra 300.....but i'm open to suggestions, you guys know way more than me about all of this. I think I would like to try my first gas motor unless you guys think otherwise....maybe a DLE 30cc.....so i'm looking at a 78" wingspan or so. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Steve
