Twist 150 with a Saito 150 got me into trying 3D stuff. Get it up in the air, put on high rates then throw it all over the place. Ready to land? Just put back the low rates and it would float in.
Also like a couple pattern planes with YS 120's. Great Planes Venus II and a Sequel from Piedmont Models (Dave Guerin). Rides like a rocket on rails.
I bring out the slime about 25% of the time, just for fun.
I also still have the 3rd trainer I had. (First 2 suffered from my newbieness.) Once a year I bring it out just to reminisce about the simpler times in the hobby. Simpler now that I know how to fly it, anyway!

I would have to say the slimer I had the most fun with was a Scat Cat with a 32 on a pipe. Go fast, turn left 
I flew that plane for 12 years. It was my go to plane for just burnin' holes in the sky. I replaced the piston and sleeve 3 times. Finally had to retire it when the wing holes were so oblong the wing would flop around a bit.

Back in the day, we had what was called, "tough-enough". Not sure if it was like your scat cat. But holy cripes...fast. Usually a turned up 25 on a pipe would get ya more speed than you could handle. LOL....and like you....go fast, turn left...go fast, turn left. They were a ton of fun.
+1...I had a blast with my Somethin' Extra and really missed it after I sold it. Also still have a Sig 1/4 scale Cub with a OS 120 III on it. IMO..It's the best flying Cub there is and does the best side slips. Gotta mention Sig Seniorita's and Morris Hobbies Top Cap's. It's really hard to have just one favorite.

Long John!
It was a kit by Texas Twins. It was designed for a fun-fly that was pretty big back in the 80's in Waco Texas. There were 20 size, 40 size, 60 size, and a 120 size. I've had them all, and the 60 size is by far my favorite ever! I currently have 2, one flyable and the other in progress. If you have the chance, fly one!
