hi. i have mastered flying a 4 ch electric profile plane and ive successfully done all of the aerobatic maneuvers its capable of, and i want to get into glow. i think ill get bored of a trainer very fast because they cant do anything (ive flown one before). can you guys recommend a good low wing plane thats not terribly hard to fly but will do aerobatics? i would prefer one i can get from tower hobbies

I'd recommend the 4 Star 40 or 60, you can get them in a kit or ARF form. I transitioned from a trainer right into my 4*60. Great slow flight characteristics, lands at a crawl, and can do almost all your basic aerobatics…Loops, rolls, knife edge, hammer heads, inverted flight, etc.

If you do get on of the 4*’s, do a search here and you’ll find plenty of ideas and hints on making your bird snappier. For example you can shorten the wingspan by 1 rib length on each side….

Like Kevlar said, the Sig 4 star series is excellent, so it the Goldberg Tiger, and if you really think you can handle it, a Great Planes Super Sportster.

It is not a low wing but have you consider a Big Stik, Super Stick, Ugly Stick or any Stick; they are a lot of fun to fly, and you can do a lot of stunts with them.

sounds good, i think ill get the sig 40 kit. what do you guys think about the tower hobbies kaos?

Excellent choice, the 'Fours' or the 'Tigers' are ideal follow on airplanes.

The Kaos' all of them are wonderful sport aerobatic airplanes that fly well indeed and if you are thinking of these as a follow on to the 'Four' great go for it. But not before some experiance with the 'Fours' If you want to see the real Kaos browse here www.bridiradiocontrol.com This is Joe Bridi's site the original designer and something on the order of national pattern champion around six or seven times as well as worlds I think at least once maybe more.

His kits are superb and everyone flys great also they all come out very light, They are light years ahead of the Tower version. He has stopped kit production some time ago and what is left is on that site. Just feast your eyes on the 60 Killer Kaos of which some are left (The last bridi designed Kaos) They are a joy to fly. I still keep one to every once in awhile remind me what its like to fly a truly neutral handling and that means it stays in what ever attitude you put it in and stays there come heck or high water.
I also fly mine off water on cantilever strutted floats.

I could not give better advice than you have gotten. For a low wing, you can't beat any of the 4-Star series. On the other hand, a Stick is for everyone. A Big Stick 40 with the wing flat, a good .46 and lots of control is hard to beat for nearly everything.
