Hi all,

I am knida new to the plane side of the rc world but, last christmas i got my first plane which was a HBZ supercub. Since my first flight, i have been hooked!!! I head to the local field almost 4 times a week and i still cannot get enough. But, after i mastered the supercub, i made a huge leap to the parkzone brushless f27c stryker. I have had over 5 months of spine tingling fun with the stryker but, last month i wanted to get a real balsa plane while still sticking to eletric models. I made the decision to get the eflite mini pulse xt! wow what a big change, it flys so much better than my foam planes. So, my question is this, i am about to buy another nice balse plane (40 size) and i have not decided if it will be nitro or not buyt my flying buddies are pushing me to go nitro. I really like eletric but the nitro is not new to me (i have hade 5 baots and almost 10 cars that all were nitro)

so overall, i am having trouble picking a new plane. I am looking at 2 types (sport/3d) now if i go sport, i want something that is pretty fast, looks great, flys great, acrobatic and one that can slow down nicely for landings. But, if i go down the sport 3d road, i dont want to break the bank with the cost. If it helps any, i have a new os 46 that i would like to use in the setup if i go nitro.

the planes i have concidered so far are

the GP venus, H9 pulse 40, ultrastick 40, cap 580, and various foam 3d profiles and tons of others. I just have no clue what to get so, feel free to chime in with any ideas!
