Bretd: I guess you are looking for a 3D plane. Forget the Showtime, I have whitnesed a total wing failure during a blender, the wing tube and joiner actually tore upward through the ribs on the Port wing allowing it to flutter down alone inside a shower of broken balsa and covering bits. the balance of the airframe entered a high rate spin that turned into a uncontroled sprial dive. The destruction was almost total including a smashed Saito, two servo's and rec. We think that when the wing left the servo lead yanked the rec. right up to the fuse side tearing out the leads to the tail servos (all ext secured with heat shrink not one let go)
The tube inside the Port wing appeared to only have glue on the root and second rib. the Starboard wing had more glue but wing was badly smashed so hard to say how well it was built.
If you want to fly true 3D get a profile from here

I have the Mojo 60 and the Primo both from kits. 3D animals light but built to take 3D flight stress plus a fair amount of hard ground arrivals. The ARF Mojo comes from the same factory used by OMP and Copperhead Avation.
Stay away from the "Big" names for 3D, none of them build a true 3D plane as the mass market would not buy in large enough numbers.
If you want to fly gently do big loops and repair your landing gear mount every week get a Showtime.
If you want to fly hard and push things every time out get one of Pauls planes.
