Default Next Plane Help

Ok so I have been flying my U-Can-Do for just a very short time now, and I want to get my next plane in the works.
Problem is that I don't know what that next plane should be. Let me describe what I am looking for and see if perhaps everyone that has a ton more experience than me can make some good suggestions.

I love the look of the Cap, Edge, type planes. I am looking for something that is more fluid and not as jerky as the basic 3D type plane. I guess I am looking for something that will groove more like a pattern plane, with the fun of almost 3-D type manuvers when you feel like it. But it does NOT need to do 3D manuvers perfectly, just a close resemblance. I want it to be well powered with a strong 70 to 90 size motor. Now the big question...

Does this exist?


Thanks for the help.

If you can get it over there, a Glens Models 58" Cap or Extra would hit the mark pretty darn well.

the 540 edge will move like a pattern plane. or you can acually get a pattern plane. my 120 size cap 231 flys real tight and smooth like a pattern plane too. but some people have problems with caps, i however dont.

I've looked at the Quest 3D by Ultra RC. It's a pretty good looking plane. And I think, from the looks of it, it would do just what you are asking for. There is a thread in the IMAC/Pattern forum. I decided not to get one though and order a Showtime. I'm excited to see how that does.
Thanks,
Barry
