First: I didn't write anything on FG.
I am from Europe, but I am prepared to order from America if I would have to...

no problem, well, check pilot-rc.com, they carry a lot of options and also they offer combos with DLE engines...really good prices shipped. I like the Extra 300 that they have and also you can order your own scheme. Check also Aeroworks, Wildhare and Extreme Flight.

RE: First giant 3d airplane
dont know them.....if you like Edge, Aeroworks has a really nice 50cc Edge. Also whildhare Edge is really good too. Ilike those brands cause they carry spares and the quality of their airplanes is amazing. I love my Extra 300 in yellow. I have seen flying a lot of airplanes and AW are one of the best out there with Extreme Flight.

If you're not in a hurry. Extreme Flight has a Edge 540T coming soon. You could get it from a dealer in Europe.
The EF Yak 54 and the Extra 300 are awesome also.

peakmodel has some ok stuff, but for a bit more you can get a good plane with parts and user/owner support. its better to buy a proven airframe rather than buying low budget and then up grade right away.spend once and enjoy [8D]

RE: First giant 3d airplane
For me to spend so much time and effort building the perfect plane...only to get it to the field and have it fly like *****...no way jose. I don't believe in cheap. I'd rather just not do the hobby if I have to fly cheap stuff. Sorry if this offends anybody. Just my feelings on it. I have heard that there are some good flying budget planes but once you buy just one Extreme Flight it's over. There's no going back.

RE: First giant 3d airplane
Yep, sometimes the cheap option is not any cheaper. I have chased better airframes/gear as my flying improved. It would have been better/cheaper to buy performance machines/electronics, long ago and have my flying skills grow into the model over time.
