cheap and tough plane to learn on?
im looking around to try to find a good plane to learn some 3d. im looking for a plane that.....
is under 12 oz, the motor that i have is 46g and can produce 15-17 ounces of thrust
can fly with 3 servos
is under $60
easy to build
VERY TOUGH
i know i seem a little picky but i have looked all around rcuniverse, rcgroups, and alot of websites to try to find the perfect plane. so far ive found the blade, blitz, music bubble-all from nesail, and maybe the hl christian eagle or pigi.

Check out the R3D from E-foamies!
Flys great and is VERY durable.
It has a built up EPP wing with EPP ribs and an epp built up fuse as well.
I'm running the Himax 2808 outrunner with a 10x4.7 and it fly's it with power to spare.
Here's a link to the site.. http://e-foamies.com/

RE: cheap and tough plane to learn on?
thanks for the suggestion, after looking at at, im jus worried about the weight. my motor gets around 15 ounces of thrust, i might be able to make it 17, so if my plane ends up around 15 ounces, then ill need close to full throttle to hover, which would likely be a problem. if it was more around 10-12 oz maybe 13 ouces then ill jump to it but 15 is a little too much.
