It'll do all the basic stuff just fine. I would suggest that you keep the CG a bit further forward depending on where it's set now. Try the IMAC CG test where you put it in an inverted 45 degree climb and release the sticks, it should maintain that climb for at least several seconds before starting to nose over. I like mine just a tiny bit further back so the model will maintain that climb without nosing over, or starting to climb.
If you've been more into 3D and have the CG set accordingly, it'll be harder to do the precision maneuvers.
A Funtana 90 is what I started with and it did the job of getting me hooked...
Don't be intimidated by what you'll see show up at contests, depending on which meet you go to and the participation, you'll see lots of stuff up to and including guys with 40% stuff, but it doesn't mean that they can fly any better than you!
If you can hook up with some local IMAC guys, I've yet to run across one that wouldn't be happy to help you and their assistance can be valuable.
Have fun!
