Right now i am flying a Super stick 60, I really like the way this thing flies. I would like to buy another plane that can handle an OS 55 (since I already have one) I have been looking at the mid wing planes but not sure on which one....I would like to have one that flies stable and semi slow..I am probably close to an intermediate flier....I like planes that take off and land easy I guess something that would fly kinda like my SS 60...Any 2 cents would be appreciated
Thanks

Slower flying, floats for a long, long time w/o power, can do lots of nice 'tricks', very stable. This is actually an 'entry level' 3D plane, hence 'U Can Do' and not 'U R Pro' so don't be intimidated by the name; it's a gentle flier that can hang with the rest of them, literally.
There are 5 at my club (40 members), and they fly similar to my Venus (though it feels lighter) and really is nice to fly.

I have had a Phoenix Dolphin since they came out and still fly it every now and then. I have always liked the way it handles. You can cut the throttle to idle from 50 yards out and it lands perfect every time. It is quick and agile and has unlimited vertical with the OS 46AX that is in it. I know it is not a mid wing but it is still fun to fly. The takeoff and landings are very easy with it. My son flies it now getting ready for his Ultimate .40. Might give one a try.

Sig Somthin Extra. Both the kit and the ARF fly great. Excellent sport and aerobatic airplane: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXZL44&P=0
The Great Planes Revolver is definitely not a slow plane but it is a sweet flyer with the .55-AX: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXRWV9&P=0
Another option is the Hangar-9 Twist. It is very aerobatic but can float around at a crawl if you want: http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=HAN2650
If you want to try something more scale the Pawnee will fly great with the .55: http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=HAN4030
The U-can do is also a fun plane but just keep the speeds down. Go too fast and it will shred itself into a pile of balsa splinters.

I just ordered this from Tower Hobbies:

The representative told me that it will fly well with a 46 AX, but the 55 AX would be ideal. It is a 3D capable mid-wing, and has a large flight envelope, according to the manufacturer. It won't be as prone to flutter as the U-Can-Do, yet performs the maneuvers just as well according to their video in the link.

Here's a link to the manufacturer's web page with the video:

I'll put this out their just because I think it is one of the best flying planes in it's class. The Funtana's are great in any size and the X 50 size will put that OS 55ax to good use.
