RE: 40 size 3d monster?
pro2k don't make the mistake i made with the F90. It only looks like a few more pennies till you start adding up expensive high tork servos which are a must for that plane. Don't get me wrong the plane flies like a dream, but it is not a good plane to learn on. I did not like profiles either until i got my first one. I actually flew it for the first time last week and i am hooked! I have a accel katana gs 40 with a saito 82 on it with 3004 servos on it. If you are looking to learn 3D I really suggest a profile. If you know what you are doing i suggest something in a 90 size with a good 4stroke. I used to fool around with 2 strokes all the time till i got my first 4 stroke. For 3D i don't ever think i will use another 2 stroke. Don't rule out profiles they may be ugly but when you fly one they start look great for the performance and especially the price. Also if you really like the funtana do alot of reading on it before you buy it. There are alot of things you need to do so you don't loose it to flutter.
