I would highly recommend one of the 4*s. I never thought I would enjoy the 4* after I flew the Hanger 9 Aresti (my 2nd plane), but the 4* is a great plane and I am actually considering buying one for a 3rd. It flies anyway you want from smoothe to crazy (not 3d however). It lands almost as slow as a trainer and is just a great all around plane. And, I hear the kit is really easy to build and cheap as anything out there.
