RE: funstar 3d?
ORIGINAL: nitro wing
It's a basic no frills set up
, those servos are adequate but nothing
Special and marginal for a bigger plane with
A more aggressive pilot,
Get what you can , but don't argue the
Fact that its easy to spend 2 k $ on a fully
Equipped 30cc with ease ok?

RE: funstar 3d?
ZacharyR,s suggestion of getting a large 3d profile foamie from rcfactory is the best advise on here if your serious about learning 3d and specially so if you are on a budget.
Sure a 3dhs slick will 3d but a $1000 dollars plus setup will seriously slow down your learning curve by the fact you cannot afford to crash that setup, and crashings part of learning 3d. If you are on a budget what are you gonni do if you do crash your 30cc plane, can you afford to replace it straight away?. foamies are long lasting and even when they are worn out they are cheaply replaced.
Save for your 30cc (go straight to a 50cc if you can) for next year, get a foamie for this year.
I fought against owning a foamie for ages, but they really are the best 3d learning tool.

RE: funstar 3d?
what you don't undersand and what others don't know because they fly straight up crap like aphoneix extra is
A 89 slick will MAKE you shine ! FACT ! not openion .. like openion of the big stick being unlimtted 3d a 89 slick does it all vary easy and stable
granted you cant smake it on the ground but sadly that's the leraning cruve you have to over come the wallet / fear factor that's why I said a tough foamy and a gasser but realsitckly not everyone has that budget hense why you don't see 89 slicks all over the flying field
but I grantee you that plane will make you look better then you really are flying

If you read the original post, the OP was not asking for unlimited 3D. By the nature of the fact that he was asking for information about a small, low cost plane, you can assume that he is interested in some 3D performance. So, you could get some limited 3D performance out of a whole range of planes that have enough power, wing area, control surface deflection, and rear-ward CG.

RE: funstar 3d?
I think all the planes that have been suggested, including the Funstar, are decent 3D planes. The Stik is not necessarily a 3D plane, but I suggested it because it could do some limited 3D.
Since you already have a Stik, how do you have it configured? What engine and prop?
You could tweak it a bit by putting a 3D prop (bigger diameter and smaller pitch) on it and moving the CG as far back as recommended in the manual. Then, when the plane is high enough, switch over to high rates and try a few tricks. That might get you by until you get the real 3D plane that you are hoping for.

RE: funstar 3d?
Ok guys that's enough lol no need for it. The stick has an evolution .46nx with a mas 11x6 and balanced where the manual suggests (3 inches behind the leading edge If I remember right). It will hover for a few seconds before it starts to fall.

RE: funstar 3d?
Any plane can hover, a stick, a cub, a jet, who cares, 3D is way beyond that level for the last 10 years now..
set a budget, be it 500, 1000$ or 2500$, 5500$. then get what works within that range, 200$ foamy can be as much fun as a 2000$ 50cc plane , really.
BUT, there is a big difference.. a 480size Eflite sukhoi will not give anywhere near the performance ( overall) or exitement a 50cc gasoline Sukhoi would do, take the PAU for example, but it will take 2500$ to make it go hard.
Dont try to fly a performance 30cc at under 1000$, you will have chosen poor parts and set up, it can be done, but its a piece of crap low entry level machine, which cant do the stuff you want, cause its outfitted with lame parts for the job.
Then you will upgrade and spend another 50%
upgrade again and seng more $$$
My Buddy Zach likely agrees, and is tired of repeating the same message now..

I've been looking for a good foamy for a while now so I checked out Twistedhobbies, went ahead and ordered their crack lazer.

RE: funstar 3d?
Exactly, I have a Lanier 87" extra I want kept in one piece, but I'm looking forward to the day I can wring it out. I'm hoping to get some of the 3d techniques down pat first with the foamie. My sim doesn't give me much room to learn 3d. Although I did learn to fly on it, the best $200 I ever spent

RE: funstar 3d?
Here's a unique small 3D model: http://shulmanaviation.com/product_i...oducts_id=1807
Also, here are some more small 3D profiles from Value Hobby that are reasonably priced: http://www.valuehobby.com/airplanes/...html?limit=all
However, my experience with the Electrifly Silhouette from Tower was mixed. If flew great, but the structure was very flimsy and started to fall apart before I ever flew it!!!!
