RE: Help me decide
I'm putting together an Extreme Flight Extra. Very nice plane and very capable. Check the videos on Extreme Flight's site. I bought this plane strictly on it's reputation, which is considerable.
As a bonus that won't mean anything to you now, the plane is fully 3D capable (with a 3D setup). Later, though, when you discover the plane's capabilities, you will want to push it harder and harder, and that means flying some 3D with it.
That's how I got started doing 3D. I bought a 3D plane and sport flew it, but later I tried some 3D maneuvers and they were so much fun that I've gone to a full 3D setup and sport fly that. My sport flying routine includes precison maneuvers on low rates, and full blown 3D antics on high rates. That's the way I intend to fly my Extreme Flight Extra too.
Hopefully by the weekend we will have some video footage on the Extra and we'll post it here.
