Ihave been trying to find an ARF for my DLE20, since the plane I had put it in just can't handle the power, but so far all I can find is a big stick 60 and Idont like the looks of the plane. The rest of the planes that the DLE can fit are Pattern or 3D, and about the only one Ican find that fits my budget is something like the GPEscapade.

What level up from a trainer are these planes? Right now Ifly a Kadet with a modified wing of 1" Dihedral, but still flat bottomed, but I also fly a T-34 PTS which will soon go glow once I get the motor for it. The plane I had the DLE20 in was a huge parasol winged ugly thing, that had a nearly flat wing, it had no stability on it, but Iwas able to fly it just fine, until the rudder pushrod came apart. I'm repairing that one and putting a Magnum 91 FS on it, more the correct size motor for it, and looking for a plane to use the DLE on. So far all the suggested planes that interested me are no longer available. Iwould like to get something quickly to get a second flying plane in addition to my Kadet.

How well do they handle slow speeds? With Expo and low rates would they be OK for a next level up plane? What about a Bipe like the christen eagle?
