Hey guys - I'm looking to get into 3D flying and I'm looking for a good plane for learning. I'm a fairly good aerobatic and scale pilot, but have only ever done 3D on the sim. That being said, I'm hoping that you guys can help point me in the right direction in terms of the best plane for me. I'm looking to learn basic 3D (hover, elevator, parachute, knife-edge, etc...) as well as some precision flight. I've been looking at a number of different models and manufacturers and am more confused than when I started. I would like to be in the 30cc class (also my first gas plane).

These have made the top of my list so far:

Pilot RC 26% Yak 54
Red Wing MX2 30cc


Both seem to have their pros and cons (I've heard that the Pilot Yak requires firewall modifications to accommodate the DLE-30 rear-carb), but I'd really like to know what you guys think. In addition, don't be shy about suggesting something I haven't considered - all input is appreciated!

Thanks a ton!
