try an ikarus model such as the yak 54 you cant mess it up if you try. this is definately one of the best planes out there the pros agree trust me buying a flatout will not make you half as happy if you had a ikarua model i have personally owned every flat out and tried many modifications to make them fly their best i worked at a hobby shop and that what allowed me to do this. dont get me wrong their not bad planes just not the best if you like the price over the ikarus models go ahead with the GP's but dont expect the same performance. and always remember lighter is better there is a big difference how a 8oz plane flies when its 8oz and when ite 10-11oz believe it or not
