RE: Big planes
I agree, I have flown a 42% Extra and it was the best flying plane I have ever flown. The bigger they are, the better they present, the smoother they are, and the easier they are to control. There are usually very little if any bad habits to them, whereas my 27% will snap on you severely if you are not careful. They might seem to weigh a lot, but once in the air, it flys like it's 5. If you can swing the cost, they are VERY MUCH worth it.
