RE: Help on first 3d plane
You might consider the FRENZY it is a great plane. Does 3D very well and takeoffs and landings are a breeze. I use a Saito 125 to power mine. It is a 90 sized ARF easy build following instructions. Pretty rugged but unless you just can't land a plane you will be greatly surprised at how smooth it lands. Big wing's with very light wing loading makes it very very stable. It is fairly fast also. Hovers, flat spins, Inverted harriers, Harriers, are all smooth and with very little wing rock. Just a very very good plane for a 3rd. 4th plane. Maybe a second if you get good with the first. It is the easies flying plane i have.
ERATIX, ADDICTION, STICK, SUNDOWNER, SUPER CHIPMUNK, ULTIMATE BI, Flys easier than any of these. The Eratix is close on the floating of the landings. The color scheme grows on you pretty quick and it looks better for real than the ads make it look.
Edited to add: leave the wheel pants off and you have no problem with a grass runway that is what i fly off of and some of the runway is pretty rough.
