I would say Airfoilz. They fly like a "real" plane and not like a typical flat airfoiled plane.

I have had a blast with the Hacker models foamies, all EPP construction.If you crash it, CA and kicker will get you up flying in a couple of mins. The ZoomZoom, ZoomBi,SuperZoom, Extra Chaos, and Pitts special were all great to fly. Very nice for outdoor use
