Thanks for the replies guys. Nice picture P-40LUVR. That's what caught my eye with the Funstar, it's looks. It reminds me of the Northeast Sailplanes electric Vermont Belle 1300 which I like very much. The VB supposedly flies well fast and slow due to its wing type. Very similar fuselage as the Funstar, but quite different wing. But, it's very expensive and smaller.

I still don't know what I'm going to get. I'm looking for a low-wing aerobatic plane. I'm considering the following: Graupner Extra 300S .60, Seagull Extra 300S .60, Phoenix Sukhoi SU-31 .46, Seagull Spacewalker II, or the Funstar. They all look like great planes. Tough to decide. I'd like to try them all, but that's not practical. I'll just have to pick one and see where it takes me.
I recently finished my Funstar and love how it flys. Pretty well made, and the price is certainly right. Powered with an O.S. 46FX and swinging an APC 12x4, it has all kinds of hovering capability...nice plane.

My suggestion for an inexpensive aerobatic plane, the Phoenix Giles G-202. I also have the Phoenix Sukhoi, but the Giles, IMO, tracks much better and responds quicker to your thumbs. I am very sold on the Phoenix ARF's...Dale
