I had one of those U Can Do 3D Flight Flex thingys and didn't like it. When the fuse flexes, the plane gets a mind of it's own. I think a 3D foamy is allright with your limited experience as long as you tame down the throws and don't try rollers the first flight. Both my son and daughter learned to fly with a Precision Aerobatics Bad Boy. What makes a 3D pplane good at 3D is the same thing that makes it easy to sport. Light wingloading and stability.
