I'd say you might want to get a foamy with some dihedral or at least a high wing first. The 3D foamies really react fast and the slightest bit of wind can blow them all over the place. I love my 3D foamy, but it is not easy to fly. It requires non-stop attention and correction to keep it where I want it. Course if you are really good with your trainer you might be able to handle a 3D foamy on low rates.
