Any of you guys have ideas on a good practice plane for both precision and some 3D, but will fly in the wind.

Thanks

Hey Mark,

Of the one's you mentioned, the QQ would be sweet and also the Showtime. I own both the Showtime with a Saito 125, and a QQ 73" with a YS 140FZ. Both of these planes are easy to fly, will do precision with the right setup and will 3D with the best of them.

BTW: You'd be surprised how easy that QQ 86" is to fly, very solid and light in the air, no problem to land. I'm not trying to talk you into flying it if you're not comfortable, that could lead to bad nerves at a very inopportune time
