Default looking for 3d plane any ideas

I currently have a 40 size Sig Mayhem I would like to get the 120 size but there is none out there. If you have some ideas of 70" ish wing span, thick airfoil 3d type planes I would like to check them out so far the World Models Fun World 3d looks the most comparable but it seems a little heavy. If you can think of any please list, or maybe you know someone looking to get rid of a Mayhem.
Thanks Allen

There is a 3-D forum that may be a better place to ask about 3-D planes. About third down on the forum header.

Some great 3d airplanes I can think of is the Sig somethin extra, but its not a 1.20 size, but has a thick, crisp airfoil, its easy to fly and also very fun.

As far as 1.20 size 3d airplanes, are you looking for a kit or an ARF?

My current favorite plane is my Mojo 60 from Swany's House. It is the big blue thing in the photo. I built it's little brother, the other plane in the photo, and liked it so much I had to have a bigger one.

It only comes as a kit, but it is a really easy build. I am flying mine with a Saito 91, and it is just too much fun. All up weight is around 5.5 pounds.

These are my first two 3D planes, and they are really easy to learn on, especially the 60 size. It can be flown extremely slowly.

He also makes a larger one, but that wouldn't fit in my car.

Good luck

Edit: The big Mojo is a 65" wingspan. http://www.swanyshouse.com/mojo65/mojo65.aspx

OMP has nice flying airplanes: http://ohiomodelplanes.com/67fusionarf/

Aeroworks also has a 3D profile now: http://aero-works.net/store/detail.aspx?ID=426

Other options might include the Great Planes U-Can-do Or Hangar-9 Twist.

If you aren't committed to a fun-fly type plane then there are a lot of 3D capable Extras, Yaks and similar planes in the size range.

OMP Fusion would get my vote. 120 AX if you like 2 st and a Saito for a 4st.

Decent 3D glow airplanes that I can think of:

Mojo 40 / 60 Profile
GP Reactor 46-70
GP Reactor 60-91 Bipe
GP Reactor 1.60
GP Yak 54 (there is both a 90 and 160)
Aeroworks Edge 540 46
Aeroworks Yak 90-120
Phoenix Funstar 46
Phoenix Topstar 60
Hangar9 Twist 40/60
Hangar9 Showtime 50/90
Hangar9 Funtana 125
Flip 3D
CMPro Quest 50/90
Seagull Harrier 90

There are also a few from OMP, PA and others that atleast I am not aware of.
