So what do you need? My philosophy is to make it fly good at a resonable budget. This will up your skills as a polit as you can focus on flying not the rattling of your knees.

I really want a fancy plane such as Wizard S or Rebel HOT, but I can not afford to crash it = fly higher.

I also try to stay away from making too small planes with a too large engine (well note the "try".... LOL). Going Habu32, 70-80mm EDF makes little sense with the X45 engine. Those really calls for the smaller and lighter Kolibris. Jump up to look at 90mm jets or even 105mm.

My latest plane is the Avios Mig17, it's a 90mm size, little larger and a little nicer looking then a sports jet. Still it flies really well I must say. 12min on 800cc of fuel.
