What type did you fly?

This was the type in which I soloed

Went on to the double-surface, symetrical airfoil. They can be had quite cheaply.

Looks like a very cool plane to fly. It seems a bit underpowered though.

Surprisingly not. You pop off the ground in about 100 yards, and it has a decent climb out. It never felt underpowered, though I don't have any high-performance experience to compare to.

I was flying "Dawn of Aces" at the time, and I have to say the feeling was similar in many respects.

Those little ones are not really what I was looking for, but however a buddy of mine is really interested. Thank you and keep this stuff coming.
Besides, some of the other suggested planes look realy cool. That RV (wasn't that HiTech's ride?) and that Pulsar, yeahh.
More info plz.
