IMO with models, it takes personal experience with a certain model to tell which flies good for each flying style.. Most RC Models are only similar to scale so it again depends on the weight, control surfaces etc.. I would say just to read through RCU.. Magazine reviews are ussually inflated btw IMO.. I have an Extreme Flight Yak 68" and it flies nice and will do everything in the book according to the videos.. I do not Hover because I have a Helicopter

Good luck..
