The Ultimate bipe is very stable as well. It also lands like a trainer. It's a solid choice to get into 3D with. Just remember that, no matter what you choose, every plane flies differently. Even some of the same type depending on who makes it, size, balance and setup. Just because you can fly your buddies Cap 232 doesn't mean you can now fly any Cap 232 just as easily and the same way. Choose a plane, get used to its characteristics (stalls etc...) at about 5 mistakes high, land it several times, then let her rip and try the fun stuff. Good luck.
