Which One?
 
I have been flying my trainer for about 25 flights and I can land and takeoff pretty good. I could also loop it and roll it. It crashed the other day when the aileron connection came lose. Is their a high wing airplane arf that is a little more advanced than a trainer.

I'll 2nd the Midwest Aerobat. It sounds like your in the perfect position for either of the 2 planes mentioned so far. The Midwest Aerobat lands slow, but is VERY responsive in the air compared to a typical trainer. It can do quite a bit of aerobatics, it's labeled as an aerobatic trainer. Minnflyer did a review on it last year when it was new. Look it up on these forums.

As far as price goes, I think the Avistar is around $100 and the Aerobat is $150. I can't tell you which one flies better because I've never flown an Avistar. They sound like real similar planes, both are a good buy and both fly well.

Hobbico Brightstar....

A low wing (flat bottom) trainer. These are discontinued, BUT this online store still shows they have some.

These fly great. My Nephew has one (a replacement for the one he crashed) and he also bought another one just to keep in storage.

He flies his with a 61 up front.....I know, cause I build them for him! :D
