I was looking around and noticed there is alot of good 3d planes on the market today but which to choose. i have found many bipes and monoplanes such as the cap,extra,edge,and,velox. as for the bipelanes dpm ultimate,lanier ultimate, ca stinker,and midwest stinker. I am on a budget and I am not sure which plane to choose. I was looking at a hanger 9 edge but Saw one fly and it wing rocks to much when you slow it down and his was light.Thanks for all your suggestions.
i really like the pitts stinker by ca models. What do ya think. For this it says to run a 75cc I might run an 85cc if i plan to get this one.

Those are not tape hinges i asked ca and that is just to hold the rudder straight it does not have any motor or servos in it. Would this be a good 3d plane I have seen bill himpel with his ultimate but don't know if this would fly the same. The picture belo shows that it doesn't have tape hinges. If any of you have some different suggestion let me know.
Thanks

Nice looking plane and looks like it flies nice. $1600 for a 34% ARF. Wish I had a money tree. [&:] One of the best vids I've seen, love the camera angles and beat. A little slow on the DL, but worth the wait!

I would not call 619.00 for an arf of this quallity expensive. You can use 70 oz servos in the wings and it flys with a da 50. The stinker you still have to finish ++++. I would not recomend something I would not buy. Compair and you will see. Look at the details

If you want 3d performance at a inexpensive price try the electric TBM 260 3d delight. Totaly awsome
I have one and it is the one of the best I have flown for 3d. With a himax motor and 1500ma lipo 3 cell pak you have a power to weight ratio of nearly 3 to 1 and 20 min of flying time on a full charge.

I am looking for a gas plane I already fly electric 3d which is where I learn all my manuvers on. but electrics are not much cheaper than a small gas plane. I love my electric but want to go to competitions and fly. My electric plane right now is a foamyfactory ultimat bipe I took the alierons and instead of cutting them out of the wing I added them to the back and only cut a half inch into the wing.It has 2 inch strip alierons dual w/ balancing tabs(these make all the diffference) the elevator has added sive and balancing tabs and my rudder has added size and ballancing tabs. The wings are kept from ripping off the plane by cutting little blocks of square balsa and drilling holes in them and cutting the airplane out the fit these cube then they are glued hole are drilled and 40 thousands carbon rob goes threw it keeps them from bowing to keep the from ripping off we put triangle stock on the botom wing to the fuse and the wings don't move after that. I have right now I have $900.00 in my foamies. I only run mega motors with my own custom gearboxes and my own homemade lithium ion polymer 1600mah 11.1v 3s2p batteries all of my planes have about 2.65 to 1 thrust ratio or 34 oz of thrust on a 13 oz airplane. I just want basacly want somthing to go compete with that will give me some radical 3d performance that I can with.
Thanks
Thanks
