What is this plane called?
#2

I dont know the specific model name but it looks loke a fairly standard sports aerobat, possibly an "Extra".

There are literally dozens of variations on that theme. The control surfaces on that particular plane look a little too small for outright 3D, but the somewhat swept-back wings would give it directional stability (unlike an "Edge" which sacrifices that high-speed stability for low-speed handling).

If it's the Red Bull scheme you like, it's done to death by several manufacturers. Won't be a problem finding something that looks similar Wink

Balsa/ply is unforgiving, and most people are better off sticking to foam for their first few planes. Rough landings which might shatter or heavily damage a balsa plane are frequently a non-event for foam, or at least more easily repairable.

The sim is just as hard as Real Life , except the pilot doesn't get as nervous, and that's a huge advantage. Skills learned in the sim definitely translate to the field. If you can consistently fly a variety of aircraft in the sim, and get them back down in one piece most of the time, you'll be fine with a real trainer.
