I agree with Basinbum. Get a trainer and go out and shoot touch and go's all night. That's a blast.

I can see that you need a plane that you feel really confident with. For me it was a GP Big Stick 40. That was my main plane for a long time. I flew the tar out of it, and still never worried about taking it home in one piece. I got over 900 flights on it.

You maybe don't like the looks of them, but I would highly recommend trying a SPAD. I've had more fun flying my PBF and my PQHOR (forerunner to the SPA3D) this year than one can imagine. What really helps is that I have under $25 in both planes. Both have hit the ground numerous times and are still going fine. These planes beg to be flown low and crazy. They gave me the confidence to try some 3D stuff that I never would have with my balsa planes. I know there's been huge SPAD wars here on RCU, and I am not trying to start another one. Fly the Snot out of some SPADS, then go back to your balsa stuff. It's great to go out and fly and then crash - and then laugh at yourself for crashing. Then restart, or at the most put on a new prop, and go fly again. It's great!
