I would suggest that you go to rcgroups.com and do a search. You might check www.radicalrc.com

The radical r/c edge 540 is an awesome 3d electric plane. I hovers, t-rolls, rolling harriers, flat rudder turns, and more. I have it with the Astro flight geared 010 on the 8 cell 720nimh pack. I get at least 10 ten minutes of flight with this setup. I love it

No, benmerkenhof,
What you want is an E3D from Gary Write Model Products. No, it is bigger that a park fly at 48", but it will fly as slow as you want. With a Kyosho endoplasma (£20 buggy motor) and ten cells it will prophang, torque roll knife edge etc. AUW with a ten cell pack is under 3 lbs. I am just building mine now. Have a look at his web site http://www.gwmp.net/ or www.rcgroups.com under sport planes and you will find it has some following. To digress though On the rc groups site some somewhere is video stream of Gary Writes electric conversion of a Fantana S. I beleve it is a Hacker brusheless and 30 cells. The video shows take off straight into knife edge loop. With thottle control about 10 12 mins flight.
I have also heard, if this is too big that the Mini Laser 3d is very good, better with a small brushles. But if you go too small the model will not be easy to do 3D stuff with....
Good luck
Kris

My vote goes for the RRC Edge 540!
At one point, I was torque rolling it inside my house. In the same day, I did a flat spin in the front yard right down into a tree.
AWESOME little plane! I am sure that Sukhoi is much better, but it's also twice the price...

IF you really want one, design it yourself.
I was looking for the same thing last year and didn't find anything either, so, i built one myself. The result was a Edge 300 as I call it, Or, " little sum b&%ch" as a good friend calls it. The equipment I used was a GWS power pack, 10amp speed control, extra servo and $22 GWS motor/drive. The forth plane weighed in at 9.25oz and including everything less Tx. My original goal was to make it inexpensive and I think I accomplished that. At $200 for everything in the plane.
If you are interested in seeing it fly, check out minnesotarc.com, under the movies section.
The little plane is capable of doing Knife edge, flat spins, climbing flats, hovering, torque rolls, and many others. I am trying to have something ready for Toledo this year, kits maybe, or at least the very least, completed plans.

Scott...very nice looking plane...I was concidering something similar only made out of foam to fly at a indoor golf dome. In my hands your plane would not last 2 min in the dome. I would get midaired or bounce it off the dome and cartwheel it into the ground. 8^) For indoor flying I think foam would be the way to go. I was thinking of a Morris type funfly plane out of foam that would be easy to repair or replace. The Zagi's do very well because they are very tough. Maybe see you at Toledo.
