RE: funstar 3d?
Of course, as many others will suggest, you can't go wrong with a Stik. It can do 3D also. Not as pretty as the Extra, but the 60 sized stiks are better than the 40 and giants IMO. I have a Giant Big Stik and even though it is quite impressive with its flying ability, it is not as dynamic as the 60-sized Stik.

RE: funstar 3d?
I have the Phoenix extra 330s with a dle 20. It had too much nose weight for 3d but was a nice docile flier. Mine never tip stalled but I did need to keep some speed at landing. Mainly due to the nose weight. I suggest to go with it & a 9p size engine

What??? I have a .40 big stick and it's nowhere near 3d, never heard that before.

I didn't think the 40 would be 3D. But a guy at the club has a 60-size stick with a high performance 75 on a pipe and he has unlimited 3D ability.

[8LOL come on dude get real
just hover a stick for a short time IS NOT 3D dude ...
has unlimited 3D ability. ??
just be real dude and stop talking none sense

What do you consider ''3d''? Yeah sure I can hover my stick for a little while but I don't consider that 3d.

I've seen a 40-size Stik that wasn't much of a stunter. Even though my Giant Stik is capable, it is fairly heavy. The 60-size Stik I have seen flying is more capable of 3D maneuvers, I think. Also realize that there are some Stiks out there that are more like a trainer (some of the cheaper ARFs) with flat-bottom airfoil wings and large dihedral. Those are definitely out as far as 3D.

True, it may not be an all out 3D plane, but you can set it up to do some post-stall high alpha maneuvers besides hovering (I am talking about the Great Planes Big Stik - it may also apply to the Hangar 9 Ultra Stik). It has a thick symmetrical airfoil wing with a large wing area. Even though the elevator is small for a pure 3D machine, you can increase the travel. I am not a 3D hotshot flyer, but I have done harriers with my Giant Stik, even though it is not setup for 3D. I would have to move the CG aft on my Giant Stik to make it do more 3D. That is why I use the U-Can-Do 46 for my 3D flying.

Mine is the great planes big stik with a fully symmetrical wing with no dihedral, sure it can be very aerobatic if you want but no 3d that's for sure.

RE: funstar 3d?
Well, the more I look the more it seems you pretty much have to move up in size to get the flying characteristics I'm looking for so I'm probably going to wait, sell a couple things and hopefully apply for a job tomorrow (I'm 15) and get something in the 30cc range, I really like the 3dhs 30cc aj slick. Thanks to everyone for the input!

RE: funstar 3d?
Good thought
instead of wasting $$ in various entry level planes, get a decent one right way and learn with it, most of the high end planes can be set up mild as a trainer and are easy to fly and then trick them out to skills you aquire over time .
get your self a decent 30cc DLE or 35cc DLE or OS GT33 or similar, skip some of the low end ebay gas motors.
Get yourself a nice EF/ 3DHS/Aeroworks or Pilot RC and have the best fun ever. Saving and spending 20-30% more on a better plane and servos and motors will pay back right away, and not have to upgrade and spend more and upgrade again, save and get a good combo, you will be much more happier.
Most 30cc, with nice electronics/motor and radio can be 1500$ to 2000$

RE: funstar 3d?
I had it estimated at about $1000.
71" AJ slick- $450
DLE 30cc, props,extensions, spinner,fuel line,servo's ect with $90 tower coupon- $510
That's $960, what am I missing? lol

RE: funstar 3d?
lots
depends on batteries and servos, you gonna run 30$ servos or 120$ servos, I think the slick uses onlyon elevator servo,if using gas I would recomend a second seperate servo.
my $ included TX and RX
add switches, optic kill, A123 capble charger if using those..
add a filter, perhaps a better exhaust or canister as the DLE is hideous sounding and loud.
depends where are you from
add shiping and taxes
you will be well over 1000$

RE: funstar 3d?
screw the AJ slick for sure get the phoenix extra its bad ass and its really a unlimtted 3D plane I've been flying for 70 years and I know 3d even though 3D hasn't been around for 70 years
and the pheniox extra weights about as much as a tank and those supper small control surfaces will KICK ass in 3D .. hell it doesn't matter I know what im' talking about and I know 3d

RE: funstar 3d?
It's a basic no frills set up
, those servos are adequate but nothing
Special and marginal for a bigger plane with
A more aggressive pilot,
Get what you can , but don't argue the
Fact that its easy to spend 2 k $ on a fully
Equipped 30cc with ease ok?
