Hi dwn under, hey do ur planes fly inverted normally one thing fer sure is listen to whats been said above they r right on the money...i can tell ya from personal experience of being a flight instructor etc and flyn most of the type of planes u have listed ...stay away from those for now...if u want a 3d plane that is very easy to fly the u-can-do with a fourstroker is very nice, but it does have some manufacturing issues from time to time.. one of many nice second planes to fly is the world models skyraider, it will do anything your capable of doing yet and its very inexpensive, we use them to pylon race, i run a racing 2 stroke in mine and its very fast but yet lands with ease...good luck with your choice and above all enjoy urself DJ
