Default choose me a 40%er baby!

I'm getting a brand new DA 150 and cannisters and dont know what i will put it on.... I want to keep my comp-arf 3m extra 330 for my backup and messing around plane and buy another 40% for my competitions. Imac, freesyle, 3Ding etc. I'm thinking really serious about the comp-arf extra 3m 260. I dont know if i should buy it because if i buy a plane built up of wood i can bang it hear and there and repair it easier. I know composite is sturdy but wood is easier to fix.... So what do you guys think?
thanx

Go for the new Wild Hare 41% Extra 300 midwing Bill Hemple version. Light weight for 3d yet super stable and precise for IMAC. You're going to see a lot of this plane when it starts coming out.

How much do you want to spend? I mainly fly 3D so I am just waiting to break apart my planes at some point.

Besides the WH you got the Dalton or Aerotech planes. Gotta represent the dirty south

I have to hold off on any more big planes until my Lexus becomes un compactus. Kinda sux when you are in the middle of a 6 car pile up.

If I wasn't building a kit i'd be getting a Jtec Extra 300, it's just a sexy looking design

I could pretty much spend up to $2,000.00 on airframe, but i prefare wood than composite for doing my 3D stuff, because i could always fix them up quicker and stuff. I'm 90% sure that i wil buy the AM 37.5% yak 54. (i mean my dad will buy for me.)

Don't overlook a Carden 40% 330. It's a rock steady bird that can take a beating. Carden's seem heavy on paper, but they don't fly like it. I've got a video or two of mine if you want them.

When I was 14 I couldnt dream of asking my folks for $2k for a toy plane. I would have had to do it straight old skool like my relatives in the ARF factories.

I did the exact opposite. Picked up a Comp ARF to bash on. Hopefully hold up better than wooden ARF's. Talk to Darcy from Troybuilt about that ARF and 3D bashing.
