I've been thinking of getting more into 3D...now...at the moment I have been flying a bit of pattern (practicing) with a Venus 40 and a Magnum .61.

I also have a Sig Somethin' Extra which I really didn't care for and because it was so short coupled I just didnt' feel that it was a good 3D trainer.

I was thinking about getting a Funtana 40 butI hear bad things about it's knife edge abilities. Plus with shipping it's more than I want to spend I suppose but if it's the best choice I could get it.

My other choices were the UCD 46 or the Goldberg Matrix. I know the Matrix would be able to work with me in my pattern aspirations as well and it might perform the manuvers that I'm doing with my Venus at a little slower airspeed which would be better and look better in the box. The UCD on the other hand I know can do a lot of the manuvers and I've seen them fly and they are very nice but I just think I like the Matrix better.

Thoughts?

Engine will likely be a Magnum .91 RFS.
