Great question... I would like the answer to this, too. I learned (started learning... I'm not done yet) on a H9 Edge-540. I love them, even more now that I know what to do with them<g>... but these funfly wing style planes look like they might be easier to get started with. I hear good things about the DogHouse Extreme. The Pizazz looks like it would work. My friend Mickey is still flying his Freestyle. And, my friend Mike just got a Morris plane that makes him look 100 times better than any other plane he's tried to 3D. But, I don't know... I really haven't flown any of them enough to say. I'm looking forward to the replies to your question. :-)
