RE: Gas plane
Funtana is a great choice. Aeroworks small Yak is a nice one too. Just start looking at advertisements and see what kind of plane floats your boat. MOst of the planes today already have twin tapered control surfaces and over sized controls so it's more of what you like. Look at the Extras too. One of my friends just bought the AeroWorks YAK is is just waiting for his new DLE 30 to get here, it was on back order at tower. So far at my field that seems to be a great combo.
