Getting a Saito 1.00, need suggestions on a good 3D ARF

I'm getting a project together and ended up deciding on an engine before I decided on a plane. I'm getting a Saito 1.00 and want to match it up with a cool 3D/artistic aerobatics type plane for screwing around with. Not big on the Twist or UCD's. What else is out there?

Would like an ARF, but something fast built like a profile would be OK.

I'm down with profiles, artistic pattern type 3D planes, scale 3D capable planes...

Must be rolling harrier capable.

Tell me what you like and why...pretty please...

Dave

A Fliton Freestyle 330 with a saito 1.00 on it is awesome. Flys great and will 3D very well with a 16x4W APC

Looks like Fliton is leading the pack. Can anyone comment of the Seagull yak 54? Would a Saito 1.00 be enough power for it?

Got the Fliton Edge. The inspire is out of stock and I like the scheme on the Edge the best. So it's on the way!

Thanks guys. I didn't even know the Fliton planes existed.

I have flitons 330, great flying plane, great rollers, no KE couping. im sure you'll have the same results with the edge, these planes are built very light and very nicely. the hardware might be junk though.

make sure to beef up the firewall.
and the only reason i sugest the inspire over the edge is that the edge flys a little heaver. but still a great plane.

You are going to dig the fliton,Thay were a bit fragile for me.But if in the future you find yourself in this same situation,You sould give the O.M.P fusion 90 a shot.It is one of the sweatest peaces i have ever flown in that size class.Add there tetherit gear and you have a plane that can take harrier and hover landings over and over.These planes can take a licken and pull off all precision and 3D manuvers with ez.I swore off glow planes a few years ago(strickly big gass) untell i got a hold of one of these planes,now im just burning up the heli fuel.Just a suggestion for the future,check the vids.....Good luck with the new plane

I like the Fusions a lot. I am a big fan of Ohio Model Planes in general. However, I put a $200.00 cap on this kit cuz I'm probably going to end up crashing it.
