Hmmm.

The F3A is fairly durable. There are other planes that will be more durable, but its ok. It flys great. Since you already have flying experience, it would probably be easy for you to fly around. I really enjoy mine. It just flys really well. It flys best in calm air, but light breezes arent hazardous, just tricky.

The Reflection would definatly NOT be an outdoor plane. Same goes for the Tensor4D. Both of these planes have large biplane wing surfaces, combined with light weight....which reeks havoc in the wind.

The E-flite Ultimate is probably your best bet. Its thick foam, and built like rock...honestly its almost indestructible. Its heavier so it will punch through wind a little better than a shockflyer or something. You'll definatly have to go brushless if you plan on doing any 3D with it. You can of course also fly it indoors, although its going to be a handful.


Setup on a F3A.
BP-21 brushless motor from www.balsapr.com or a AXI 2204
E-flite 20A brushless ESC
2 BlueBird BMS-303 servos (one for elevator, and one for rudder) -* Note*303's are extremely light and dont have much torque, so use 306's if you need a little more durable servo
1 BlueBird BMS-306 servo for ailerons.
Bluebird or GWS 4ch Pico reciever....dont forget the crystal. And make sure its for your radio (eg futaba, JR,etc.)
Thunderpower 11.1V 430mah lipo for extreme performance, or a Thunderpower 7.4V 730mah lipo for normal flying applications.
