Considering the relatively heavy weight of the Venture 30 you might want to consider something lighter so that you can save money and have a power to weight ratio that can easily take you all the way into 3D if you want. And if you want an ARF and the OS32SXH (great engine), then you may want to consider the HAWK IV ARF that comes with the OS32SXH engine already installed with the Century Torpedo muffler for only $340.00.

This is a great trainer that comes in ready to fly at about a full pound lighter then the Venture, so you can save yourself the money of the 50 engine and use that for the better gyro/servo combination. Just the money saved could be used for a lot of other beneficial equipment.

The Venture with OS and muffler will run about $450.00. That $110.00 difference can go a long way towards the purchase of a really good gyro/servo combination that can also take you all the way, like the 401/9253.

Yes, your X-347 will be fin for training and well into FFF and aerobatics.

More food for thought.
