Revolution 3D ARF - It's the perfect 3D Trainer due to its unique EPP construction. It is also super easy to build because the wing and fuse come pre-built and the control surfaces are pre-cut.

The R3Ds will be in stock next week.

yeah, now that i think of it, these RTF versions prolly have crappy servos and electronics since theyre straight out the factory and they use their stuff instead of what people want.

now im open to any easy flying, easy building 3d planes suggestions you all have

I hope you dont mean as a first plane ever?

I finally maidened my Typhoon this morning... after 100's of flights on both high and low wing E- trainers..managed not to crash it, but it was a handful.. the Typhoon is probably less forgiving than a true foamie because of its wieght and speed..
