Default a good 3d plane

i am loking for a good 3d plane that will do anything in the book with no bad habbits, zero to none knife edge or rudder coupling, and that would idealy fit a ys 110 and be able to AGRESSIVELY pull out of a hover preferably something around 68"-70" wingspan. the lower the cost the better (i work only off allowance) but i will save up as long as necessary to get the best of the best.

I can say that I like your style by looking at your profile.
CA Models is coming out with some new ARFs that you might be interested in.

well those look great but it loks like i will need to be more specific. i am 14 so i get very little allowance so i can't really save up for those larger 30% scale 3d models. i kinda have to stick to the 68"-74" wingspan class. alsok, i have a ys 110 and a bunch of hitec digitals waiting to be put on a plane so something like the 68" yak 54 from extreme flight. that one will not be in the states until the end of april and i really need something to fly as i have been developing my 3d skills, but no thanks to cheap construction my old model is no more. i hated it so i am not getting another one of those. i understand there is a very bnig vaccum of planes in this catagory that will really be the perfect 3d plane, but i figured you pros out of anybody would probably know

Hi i am in the same boat as you i am 16 and been flying 1 year. got my B and now fly 3D I had 3 models untill last weekend when i totaled my extra. so i only have 2 models now a Capiche 50 and world models mustang. i to want to fly 2 meter models so due to this crash i am saving for a 2 meter model. It is really hard to find a good large model that will 3D with the best of them but not brank the bank. This year i am becoming a show and compertion flyer with 6 shows and 1 compertion booked this year. i Need a big model because big model stand out a lot better at shows so i am saving RRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYY Hard for a big model. Maybe a capiche 140 or Katana or Extra 300.

well, at the moment, the yak 43 from extreme flight seems to be the perfect match but it won't be at my doorstep until early may. i also hope to get into competitions, but right now a am torn between either degrading myself to flying 3d spads until it arrives or finding a really good model that will suit my needs really well that is available now. also am left with 2 models. a trainer and my homemade heavy duty draganflyer. it just ain't quite the same as 3d...

You know a great way to get into 3D and really hone your skills is the little Foamies from Ikarus USA called the SHock Flyers.
Check out www.scaleaerobatics.com and go to the link with me flying these planes in the hotel room.
I was trying to show you the new 60 100 size models from CA called the Elipson. Only like $250. Great for 3D!
Check out the Foamies, you won't ever go back!

Always go with the Extra. Just my personal preference, but I have tried them all and the Extra is the ticket. No matter which aircraft manufacturer, the extra is the compromise of the aerobatic worls.
CA models makes a very cheap line of 25%-38% Extras that fly amazing.
Later,
Mark
