I've been flying a three channel modified elec Piper cub Jr. with great success and would like to get a Bi 3D plane that will be use 100% outdoors. Also want something that will fly slow if I want it too...I have almost an acre with about a 120 foot by 200 foot flying area in the back yard...would like it to be able to handle a little wind.

Like the looks of the Hobby Lobby Quasar?

Also want to keep it lite...recommedations on flight pack?

I also have Real Flight G3....I can see I will need to practice...best plane to practice with? I also have a Hitec Flash 4 FM 72mhz TX...is this going to work ok with this plane?

I would say the Yak 54 is the best 3D plane to practice with on G3 for me. And if you want the Quasar here is everything you need:

The Quasar has very light wing loading. I would think that if you've got any wind, it'll be very tough to fly. I'd try something a little heavier like an Ultrafly bipe or even a balsa plane if you want something bigger.

...Or Hobby-Lobby has

Christen Eagle
Uzi XL & Uzu XXL

There's also the Zoom-Bi

All of these are EPP, making them resilient and heavier, which would make outdoors flying better.

Check out Northest Sailplanes Products at www.nesail.com they have several EPP planes. I just ordered an EPP ultimate biplane from them. They have several planes and one of them should work for you.

Sounds like you are not going with a bipe. If you are still interested in a bipe. I like my Fancy Foamy ultimate. AUW of 16oz, with a himax brushless outrunner and a 1320 battery it has all the performance you need. Slows down to a crawl and moves straight vertical with unlimited knifeedge. Also one of the best hovering planes I have.
