Are you already a pretty solid RC pilot? If you are then a foamy will work for you but I do not think that you would really want it to be your 3D plane to learn with. They are quick and tricky to fly but they are an absolutely blast. I would recommend a 40 size profile plane, or a U CAN DO or one of the new Funtana X Series. I have not tried the Funtanas but from all I read they are the shiznit.
If you are a beginner to RC, a foamy is not the right plane to start with. Im betting you are not a true beginner but I had to ask.

I am sure that you will get tons of suggestions for airplanes so I will see what your answer is and let the gang point you in the right direction.
