I currently have a CARF Extra 330L sitting in my basement, just needs 5" wheels and its ready to fly, however, never flown a 3d bird other than the Inversa 280(which blew apart last weekend). I want to get something that a Magnum 91 will fly it with. ARF of course, and nothing too expensive. I fly off grass too, so needs robust gear. I flew the Inversa OK but it was way too small for my eyes, and had to be hand launched so it wound up hitting the ground more than it flew(which is why it blew up). I sort of do 3D with my LT-40, I hovered it a few times until gravity won over the power of the OS. The CARF is huge with 104" span and wont fit in my car, so it has to be trailered, and because its somewhere around the $5K mark, I would much rather learn it on a much lessor $$$ plane IUNOWTIMEN.

Something under $200 maybe, I have a Funtana 90S but that plane is so light, and has a Hacker on it, but batteries for it are expensive, and I just dont feel that it will be a good plane to start with, Maybe once I have flown one for a while I might spend the time to convert it to glow or gas, maybe a nice Saito, and give it a try.

Most important thing, it Must be fun, It must not be a handful, and it must be stable. Think of a SIG 4*120 but in 3D.
