oK, I'm done with the e-starter type plane. Any recommendations for the next one?"Always fly with a responsible attitude.

Hi Sunstorm,
Once you're proficient with the E-starter, ie; able to take off, fly in a straightline, do mild aerobatics like loops, inverted flight, touch and gos and land the e-Starter upright (and inverted hehehe) and in crosswinds you should be able to move on to a whole wide range of planes.
I went down the 3D route and got myself a SuperZoom.
Maybe you can state what can of flying you're into then we can be more specific in our inputs.
Cheers

Let's see;
able to take off - only once, the rest all were hand chucked
fly in a straightline - check
do mild aerobatics like loops - check
inverted flight - check
touch and gos - check - I love doing these off the zebra crossing
land the e-Starter upright - check - landed upright, inverted - not voluntarily, nose up too - not voluntary
I want something that's a medium size, slow and able to be flown at night and use a 3 cell battery....so....
Would a mega IFO do???
I'm guessing I should get a 3d profile plane eventually."Always fly with a responsible attitude.

I have not had any experience with ifos, so I can't help you with that.
Based on my personal experience, EPP is a good way to learn aerobatics/3D. In an event of a crash it goes back together and in the air very quickly with CA. Some of the readily available EPP 3D models are: SuperZoom 4D, Zoom Zoom, Zoom Bipe and Sniper.
The formosa, eventhough I have never owned one, looks like a great platform to learn aerobatics. It's relatively affordable to setup and it looks like a great flyer.
These are just some of my 2cents. Hope it helps.
Cheers

Looks cheap, looks kinda sharp, something I can work with."Always fly with a responsible attitude.

If on a tight budget, you can always build a profile plane from 6mm depron. There's lotsa sites with plans. I built a bipe from plans off the net and it flew great until i broke it in half when I lost orientation during a low hover.
