It sounds to me like you should get a Katana.
Well who makes a good Katana? Im a little bit away from making a final decision so any suggestions will be heard. Ive only been flying since November of last year. Started off with a electric Sky Fly, moved onto a Superstar with a .46 Evolution, then moved to a Sig Four Star .40 which I learned the hard way about over-stressing a plane when the right wing panel snapped off after I tried pulling out of a full throttle dive, then heard about the Pacific Knockabout which is about the same as a Four Star but bigger and tougher but not so good outside loops, so then decided to get another four star since I really liked the first one. I had the second four star for a little while and miss judged a landing and hit a pole at destroyed the left wing panel, so now I have a good left and good right panel but never got around to making one good wing, so then I put the Pacific Knockabout back together and just recently crashed that when the elevator linkage came loose on the elevator itself. So really I haven't lost any planes due too tricks but just poor judgment and faulty parts.

After reading all this I guess I'm withdrawing my recommendation for a Katana. From similar personal experience I'd wait until you have a plane flying that you're not making repairs on at the end of the day.
