if you are looking for a good 40 size sport plane, i would reccomend something like the gp easy sport or the hangar 9 ultra stick 40 or something like that. if you are looking for 3d, there are oodles of 3d planes out there for the 40 size class. i would reccomend the hangar9 twist 3d. read up my report. it is in this forum here on the first page. it is called twist 3d building/flight report. it was $92 at my LHS and is a great plane to fly. do be warned though that 3d planes are going to be harder to fly and less stable. little amounts of throw will send it into a wild tumble and they have a stability of 0. trainers you will have to fight the controls, a 3d plane will keep on going. i would reccomend going to something like an easy sport or something before trying to fly a 3d plane. i am not saying it cant be dome, tome down the rates and i am sure you will be fine, but it will not level itself out and you dont have to hold aileron during turns etc.
