Default 3D choices

I am looking for some input as to what are some good choices of airframes and engines to use for 3D and fun fly. Something along the lines of Kangke CAP232/120, Aero-works .60 - .90 Extra 260, YAK 54 ARF 90 Size by Seagull.

Thanks for any direction.

I am looking for some opinions on aircraft and engine combinations that fly well all around and 3D. Something along the lines of mentioned airframes above. Would like to stay under 80" wing. I am not interested in profile models. Thanks

I had a Fliton Edge and now I have an Aeroworks Extra 60-90. The Aeroworks plane is AMAZING!! I've got a Saito 100 strapped to the front and it's absolutely awesome. I'm absolutely in love with it. It definitely needs to be high on your list....well, it and their Yak. If you're looking for something smaller/cheaper you can also go electric with the Hyperion Extra 260 40e from allerc.com. I went with a cheap motor/esc/battery set-up from HobbyCity with it and it's a ball to fly. The AW Extra is a whole different class of plane...but hte Hyperion is still a lot of fun to throw around.

Don't know what power I am going to use yet. It will be glow powered. I have a saito 82 sitting here but I will buy whatever I need to fly the plane I go with.

the saito will be a great match for the 3dhobbyshop plane.

I have a UCD46 with an OS 70 Surpass II. It is alot of fun to fly. I would like to find something that flies as easy as the UCD but looks a little better. :O)

I saw a guy flying a Chip Hyde CAP-X. It looked like it flew real nice but I dont think you can get them anywhere now.
