Default anyone own a cherokee, Great Planes?

Getting into glow planes... More money! I really have had more fun with my foamies than my helis, lol. IDK why, maybe I can just see them better and not get so disoriented! My helicopter skills are medium at best, mostly stuff that is 10 yards out and up and that's it. It's a blast having a plane 100 yds out doing 40-60 mph with wind ripping by, oh what a feeling . I have a trainer superstar, w/la 40 and it's fun but limited and UGLY! So I am looking to get a sport/ scale mid to low wing plane. Love the looks of the CHEROKEE! However it isn't as sporty looking as I'd like but think this is what I want.
I'm not in to war birds, look cool but not for me. Any suggestions other than the Cherokee? and not afraid of a 3d plane as long as it can be tamed down to learn and then be opened up! Want to be around 52 to 60 inch wing.
Just typing on a boring day but if someone wants ta kill some time and reply... That would be cool!

What's up Brad!? This is David. I was out at the field the other day with Chris hot-rodding the UMX Beast and Sbach. Would you be interested in an Escapade? I have a friend who is parting with a brand new one, complete with servos and an OS 46. He is also throwing in 2 other planes just to get rid of them. The other planes are rough, but I know one flies. He didn't even finish building the Escapade. Ok, here is the kicker, he only wants $150. Everything for the Escapade is brand new. Shoot me a text, Chris has my cell. I can email you some pics if you want. The guy who is selling the planes is a coworker of mine. He's a good guy. Let me know!
