I'm not sure about the airfoilz planes, but I can recommend you to a DW Yak 54 foamie. Lovely plane that really taught me 3D maneuvers, like blenders, harriers, hovers, flat spins, inverted, ect.

It's an absolutely lovely plane. All up weight is around 15 oz, and is a perfect entry level plane for 3D flying. It will fly pretty slowly, and, when powered right, will have endless vertical power.
While the company may noght be local to where you are located at, the plane is worth it. They even sell a power pack, whcih includes a motor, ESC, four servos, and I think a prop. All of which are a perfect match to the plane. All you need is a 1320 mah 3 cell lipo, 4ch+ radio, 4ch+ receiver, and foam safe CA and kicker.
