I would get something durable (foam) if you havnt gotten to know 3D yet you will and know what Im saying.
Foam foam foam foam, and I HATE foam and am reccomending it, so go figure. Wish I had gone foam when I stepped in to it.
I had my nose high in the air and the balsa flies better attitude. Guys were getting way better then me learning on the foam.
Save the balsa when you get all the orientation down .
Nothing like spending time fixing balsa when you could be out flying the foamie.
Maybe this one would be best
