Which of these models perform 3d well?

Ps! Thanks for the great pictures Cootertwo and f2racer.
Your planes look great!

I also like the model from Yellow Aicraft except that the color schema is a bit to complicated for my taste ( would be ruined after repairs)
I personally haven't 3D-ed my Seagull Edge yet. It came out to about 7 and 1/2 lbs with an MVVS 91 up front and flies pretty smooth. It also flies reasonably slow compared to other 60/90 sized aerobats that I've seen flying at my club. It's got generous sized control surfaces out back (but the ailerons are surprisingly small). I've only got 10 flights on it to date, and the elevator seems pretty sensitive and it will snap on full elevator defection even on low rates. I'm still getting comfortable with the model. I've got the battery currently in the stock location, so the plane may be a hair nose heavy, I plan on moving battery back in the fuse to see if I can cure the sensitive elevator syndrome before I try anything real wild. There's another thread where folks say that the Seagull 3D's pretty well.

BTW, I'm a reasonably proficient and have several Morris profile planes in my hanger, but I'm beginning to think that 3D-ing a more scale model (this "smaller" size at least, I've also heard that larger scale aerobats are easier to 3D) is a pretty different animal...
