I'm not exactly new to the hobby. I took a hiatus for about 14 years. I was heavily into it in the late 90's but kids etc got in the way. Anyway, I have built my share. My biggest which was actually a rebuild was a Marquart charger biplane with a super tigre 3250. It flew very well. I was never good enoughh to fly it by myself. I always had someone land and take off. I have flown the Ace 4-60 and trainers and i will be starting with those again. I like the bigger planes. I can see them better! Anyway, if it is too heavy at that weight and you don't think I should by it i will shy away. I like the way the Great planes flight simulator extra 300 and yak fly. I want something that flyes like them. Is there anything that I could hand a ST 3000 on with a 72 inch wingspan around $300? Extra yak or equivalent flyers?
