Acdii, I am a huge Aeroworks fan. But that is not a great 3d plane. It's not even a good 3D plane IMHO.

Unless your grass is 6" tall you don't need big wheels on a profile. It is going to take off in 10' and land in just as small of an area. Just mow a spot short and use that area. It will make you a better pilot anyway.

Foamies are a good start to 3D as ahicks suggested. I did not mention them because that's not what you ask. If you are interested in going that way, look at www.DWFoamies.com Mike has nice stuff at good prices. He will also talk with you and give you recommendations on what to buy. I have a Juka combo that will 3D with the best of them. Make sure you get 3-4 batteries when you get it built. And don't worry about landing gear for it. It can hand launch straight up and will land anyplace. Be sure and glue a piece of zip tie to the point on the fuse that will skid on the ground front and rear.

One other thing on the foamies. I live in western Oklahoma so wind is a factor. I don't get to fly the Juka most days because of that. So if you live in a windy area a foamie is a great second plane. But you wont get a lot of stick time if it's your only 3D plane.
