It's nice to know I am not the only person that has this problem. The last "cheap" sorta 3D plane I had was a Pizazz back in '02. I flat-spun that one to the ground and dorked the rudder alignment. It never flew "right" after that. I have too much emotional investment in the rest of my fleet to put them in too much risk.
I really appreciate everyone's advice, especially XJET and those that advised a Mojo or Tribute w/.46 engines. I actually think I will do both. The Tribute is so UGLY, I dont think I COULD get attached to it.
