Have seen some very good flying from the 3styla and rush. If you want to be able to do pattern/freestyle aerobatics then i would pick the rush, otherwise if you want a 3D funfly then the 3styla.
What engine were you looking to use?
I also recommend the Capiche 50, because ive got one and it flies pattern and 3D really well. I have learnt a great deal from it and its brought me a long way. Like the 3styla its a kit

the rush and capiche are far better for pattern and freestyle aeros than the funtana- they both have the required side area for really good Knife Edge.
However whatever you choose out of these three will probably teach you a lot
If you want info on the Capiche 50 take a look at www.flycapiche.co.uk
It way lighter than the funtana. The engine you'd be looking at would be a super tigre 50 or something like that.

Go with the capiche! The F40 is a good plane I have both of them, but for what your wanting I think (IN MY OPINION) is the capiche.
Do some reading and decide for yourself.
good luck whatever you decide.

For a first 3D plane? OK....
Is this to learn 3D or perform 3D?
I would highly recommend an electric 3DX or a SPA3D, PQHOR (SPAD) to learn on. 3DX is foam and will take abuse better if it is not too hard. Don't let it fool you, the 3DX uses the same control movements as the bigger planes.
I would recommend a Profile as your first performing 3D plane. Then move up to a Funtana , Capache, U-Can-Do, etc...
The Freestyle rush is almost a U-Can-Do.

Icorrect me if i'm wrong but i think what he was talking about here is whats suitable to help you learn how to 3d, not how to fly
I have heard that the Funtana is slightly more stable in the hover than the capiche.
The capiche is made to fly, not to crash but can still shake off abusive harrier landings. Leave crashing to the simulator

Why don't you like profiles? If you really wanna 3d, you can't beat a profile for performance and wing loading.......

That's a common complaint... I understand... But you owe it to yourself to fly one... Just try it... You'll be amazed at what they can do.... I'd be willing to bet the appearance factor would become a non issue....

well now after each message says to buy another plane i'm a little bit confused.
I think i'll ask some friend of mine with a profile plane to let me try it.
