Default New Plane

[b]I have a Katana V2 and i can't stand how it flys i have decided to buy a new plane. I was kind of thinking of a Funtana 50 but i was wondering if any one had some other suggestion's for a plane i could fly and do some 3D and some pattern?

i find it way to tail hevey it is to bouncy and i find it is just not a good flying plane. i also hate its looks and i just can not say anything positive about the plane i am looking for somthing more stable and a good flying plane. my brother fly a showtime 90 and i was thinking of the showtime 50 but it is not built the same way i was told and it is not as good as the showtime 90 and apparently it also will not snap the nose up fast into a hover. so i just want to know of a good 3D airplane.

what does your present set-up consist of to include control throws, servos, motor, prop, weight, and present CG location?

I am building a Reactor as we speak. Waiting for the Graphtec gear and the Saito 82 to come in. Very well built plane. Tower Hobbies has a $15.00 gift certificate when you buy the Reactor and a $15.00 ad.

Take a look at the fliton inspire. If you build it light the 55 will be all the power you will need and it flies very very well.
