Default Which plane?

I am trying to decide on a 3d capable plane to get while using stuff in another plane that I don't really enjoy. I presently have an AXI 221/34, Castle Creations Phoenix 25 ESC, Hitec Electron 6 receiver, and KOKAM 1500 3-cell batteries. I like planes that look somewhat "real" and space in the car is always a consideration. I will be buying the servos needed when decided. I've looked at the Great Planes Flatouts and the Ultrafly Outrage. I realize my motor, ESC, and battery may be a little heavy for some of the planes but I need to keep those items in service. Any suggestions?.

How about a Judge 540 from Hobby-Lobby. It flys great and is really strong.

If you want to buy the FLatouts then try not to fly with the 1,500 batteries, its much better on something like <,1000 Mah, keep it light.

The Ikarus Yak 54 from HobbyLobby has been super good to me. Probably going with the Pitts next, but HobbyLobby doesn't offer it, but Ikarus-usa.net has it. You should go for the lipo's + charger's too..
