Frenzy 100 great plane flys super smooth. Can do any 3d handles fair amount of wind. Floats in for landings. W/ Saito 125 it has great power to weight ratio. It is a strong plane and takes a bumpy landing well. It has very light wing loading. I have had trainer planes also and this plane flys easier than any trainer i have flown or seen flown. Price is 189.00 for plane. Then it gets a little pricey after that as all planes do. I have seen alot smaller Edges, Extra's and such that EVERYONE has cost as much or more to finsih out. I have around 75-100 flights on mine and never once had a problem. It took off first time straight as an arrow no wing drop of anykind. It is pretty stable in a harrier I am just a novice and this plane is a great 3rd plane for someone.
If Elec. is your style the 3D Eratix would be a good choice. It flys just about like the Frenzy. Good 3d plane. Has very light wing load makes it very stable landing you can fly it in or just let it float in. And it has a killer paint shceme on it. (not paint) Takes a 25-32 Park motor two 2100,s (parrelell) 4 servos metal geared. 60amp ESC. The plane is 149.00 and about 600.00 when finished. But most planes around 100.00 end up at around that to finish out unless they use micro servos, and very small esc's. But sounds like your ready for some real fun and these two planes for me are the best flying planes I have and from the guys that have flown mine love them. The light wing loading is what makes them easy flyers, as well as great 3Ders. At least give them a very close look.
