Hey FlyFalcons,
The Extra is not what I'm looking for,
It would be the same as me flying the little P-47in IMAC,
The P-47 would work really well for IMAC but not for the other things I want to do with a plane, The P-47 like the Extra has a high wing stall
and is not as good for hovering as the Stinger,
so why do I ask the question?
If I win IMAC three times in Basic and then have to quit because of needing a
scale plane than thats fine, I'll just start flying pattern then,
and then I don't have to fly scale at all!
besides, I get a plane about once or twice a year anyway,
so I think that the Stinger is the best choice,
The stinger also has the hovering potential as the Ucan do 3D!
So thanks everyone for helping me make up my mind.!
Do remember that when I'm ready to move up in IMAC will be at least two years away.

Paul.
