Good day folks and greeting from Trinidad.
I have beening flying for about 6 months now and had alwasy been interested in 3D flying currently i am flying my hobbico trainer. Does anyone have a suggestion for a second plane that i can start to learn 3D on, i am looking at the funtanaS .40 as one. Any help would be greatly welcomed



Thanks

u- can -do 40 is a great choice and i think better than a funtana 40, i had the funtana and several club members of mine have had it and their's did the same thing as mine did. it has a tail stall caristic. i have flewn the u-can-do 40 and the 60 and the new giant size and they all fly great and do just about any 3-d manuver. it for someone still learning things it will be very tame for you!!!! take a look at the u-can-do!!!!
and probbily the best motor you could put on it is a 70 4-stroke, i flew one for a freind that had a 46 2 stroke and it had enough to fly it but no 3-d power!!!!

im with badboy Mike, ucd 46 but with saito 82, which is overwhelmingly the most popular engine used.although i used the 100

I'm with both these guys. UCD46, I'd go with the Saito 82 or as gjeffers said, Saito 100 if you are a power monger.
Plane is easy to fly as a trainer and will do any 3D stunt. Great fun to fly.
Thanks

I would lean towards a profile plane. Get yourself an OMP Edge, Swany's Burrito or Mojo 60. The Kat's and Bad Boy are great planes but not as forgiving in my opinion. They are inexpensive and great to learn on. The Burrito is a kit, OMP has the Edge in ARF and a kit. There is a Mojo 40 coming in ARF. I'm not sure sure what the 40 size is like but the 60 size is very stable. The 60 size Mojo is a kit only. I suspect the 40 size Mojo is more like a Bad Boy or Kat. All these planes are easy to fly if you decrease the throws and land very slow. They are durable as well. If you to the "Profiles" section of the furums and do a search on any of these planes you find tons of info.
