you will get answeres across the board. best thing is to decide what airframes intrest you and do research on them here on flying giants and see what the threads have to say.

aeroworks has a good airplane there 90-120 yak. not the best 3d plane but overall a great airplane. fliton has one that should just be awsome but build very light. so it cant take the "hard landings" like some others but they are sweet flyers. cermark should have some good planes also

esprit models now do sebart models. take a look at the wind 110, you can get 3D tail surfaces as an extra too, so 2 models in 1!

Default Sebart Wind 110

My bud Blake just got his Wind 110 in the air for the first few flights. He threw on the 3D stabs for some testing. He reports he had a slightly larger prop than necessary(altltude problems) and the P-factor was making throttle inputs a bit dicey. But otherwise he reports it flies great precision and mild 3D. The Scorpion seems to be getting enough cooling with his Dremeling out of the intakes and exit. He has a few issues with cooling @ 4000'+ and high ambient temps in the hotter months. He added slightly larger SFG's to help with KE and says there's no KE coupling at all. I would say he gives it 2 thumbs up!
