RE: my NEXT 3D plane
I highly recommend the Katana's, I have the GS 40 and it is the best/easiest 3D plane I own. If I crashed it I would order another tommorrow. I am probably going to get the katana 70 as well. I have flown UCD's,funtanas, and lots of other 3D's, my GS 40 is so much better flying than all of them.
I have a saito 82 on my katana 40 and it totally impresses me and everyone at the field. Hovers awesome, flatspins great, knife edge loops can be 10ft diameter or 200ft. I hardly even fly my twist any more. You'll love Katana, plus the 70 size the wings are removeable. My Kat 40 would be a pain to haul with out a trailer,SUV, or pickup.
