Default What next??

Ok well i'm lookin into a new airplane and right now i'm on the low wing trike gear and i want to get a low wing taildragger but i don't know what would be good ARF. I'm pretty much open to anything because by the time i would have the $$ it would x-mas(i'm only 14). Personally i was thinking of like a funtana 40 but is that to big of a step. I have G2 lite and i play with the CAP 232 for atleast 30 minutes everyday. Any suggestions will be thought through so throw them at me.

Thanks

I would say forget the 4* and Tiger (sorry guys) ... move on to a full acrobatic plane or 3D now since you have experience on a low wing. The Funtana 40 is a very nice plane to fly, flies great on a 46 2C even but don't expect to do musch 3D on that set up. I flew mine on an SC46 and then a Saito 72 ... you will love that plane as it can be totally nuts on high rates or fly as an intermediate plane for almost pattern and acrobatic on medium rates. Landings and take offs are totally easy ...

Most important ... how much do you have to spend and what do you really want out of this hobby? I love planes that can snap roll and are fully acrobatic. What do you like?

humm you think funtana huh? well cool. I have a 46FX that i change in and out of all my airplanes. I mean i would like to spend UNDER $200 but if what i need is like under $250 then i'll get it plus i'll most likely get it for x-mas. Really i want to be as good as quique somenzini so yeah thats were i want to go. i like a low wing taildragger that can be very aerobatic with out doing alot of modifications such as new engines and so on.
