I have flown upside down (Hard to do with the trainer), outside/inside loops, figure 8, rolls and stalls. I flew the plane to the point where the wing actually broke in half. Had a ruff landing without a wing. I have the choice of getting a new trainer or moving up (Don't have the money for both), which I think I am definately ready for. The trainer that I had was not very smooth with rolls and flying upside down. I had to give a lot of down elevator to maintain upside down flight.

A friend of mine let me fly his 1/4" Extra 300. I was amaxed at how much easier it was to do all the amneuvers and others that I couldn't do with the trainer (Flat Spin). However he did not allow me to land the plane.

I was hoping I could get a plane that was great at aerobatics while upgradable to 3D if I want to go that way. The Funtana X 50/100 seems to land slow enough in the videos. I was wondeering if I kept the throws down if I could use a plane such as this. I also really like the looks of the Mat Chapman as well as the Extra 300, Cap 580 etc.. I like the looks of the pattern flyers.

Any planes out there that have the look but may be easier to fly?
