RE: 3D beginner type plane with requirments :)
The Funtana X with an .82 engine is pretty nice at most 3d. It hovers and flat spins well. You can fly it real slow with the thick wing.
The Showtime 50 with either an .82 or 1.0 is also good for some 3d.
I flew both these planes until I tried a profile. If you can get over the looks, a profile 3d plane is the way to go. Everything is easier because of the light weight. I fly the Extreme Flight Chin Yak and absolutely love it. It is 100% better than the Funtana or Showtime for 3D.
