The Showtime 4D and the Funtana 50X are both nice airplanes, but neither is a particularly good choice for a first low-wing aircraft. Both are high performance stunt airplanes that will be very responsive even when set up with lower rates on the control surfaces.

Your .46 Pro is a good engine and would provide adequate, if not ballistic, power for these airframes. Your 4YF radio system is barely adequate for flying either of these airframes, however. A 6-channel computer radio with dual rates, mixing, and exponential programming would allow you to fly one of these planes more adequately.

The H9 Pulse XT .40 ARF would be more suitable for your engine and radio. You could also look at some of the other low wing trainers mentioned in RC Ken's thread like the Goldberg Tiger 2, the Sig Four Star, the Great Planes Rapture .40, the Phoenix Models Dolphin .40, the World Models Super Sports .40, the World Models Sky Raider Mach II, the World Models LA Racer .40, the Seagull Models Space Walker II .40, or the Sportsman Aviation Sport Stik .40 are a few models that come to mind.

Some of the high wing/shoulder wing sport planes are also great second planes. The previously mentioned Great Planes Big Stik is one such terrific choice. Great Planes also makes the Easy Sport. The Hangar 9 Ultra Stik or Super Stik families are very popular. My first ARF build was a Thunder Tiger Tiger Stick .40, and it has been a joy to fly since I soloed a couple of years ago. Advanced high wing aircraft recently reviewed here at RC Universe include the Goldberg Protege and the Sig Rascal .40, both of whom look like trainers at first glance but are much more aerobatic than your typical H9 Alpha or Hobbico Superstar.

I've owned and flown both the Goldberg Tiger 2 and the TT Tiger Stick .40 for the last three seasons, and both are a joy to fly. The Tiger Stick .40 is actually more aerobatic than the Tiger 2, despite being a shoulder wing design, and is a treat to fly. Each plane does a few things better than the other, however, and both are a joy to fly. I only wish that every new pilot could fly a Tiger 2 and a Stik once they want to move up from their trainer.

Save the Showtime or Funtana for your third or fourth plane, you're probably not quite ready yet. Good luck and good shopping!
