You might want to take a look at the Thunder Tiger Pegasus .40 Super Combo:

http://www.acehobby.com/ace/TTR4556.htm

The Pegasus .40 is a wonderful airframe, boasting a semisymmetrical airfoil and a full 70" wing span. The semi-symmetrical airfoil will prevent the Pegasus from ballooning into upwind turns and it will be more aerobatic. Like the Hobbico Avistar or Hangar 9 Arrow trainers, the Pegasus will allow you to learn basic aerobatic manuvers and will remain fun to fly for much longer than a standard flat-bottomed airfoil trainer.

What makes the Pegasus .40 Super Combo so attractive? eHobbies.com has a fantastic price on it:
