Guys...pardon my ignorance, but I am getting back into the hobby after a 13 year absence. I flew pattern back then, but the sport has changed dramatically since I left it. I have a H9 Cap 232 with a YS 140L in process and JR XP8103, etc. I am struggling to understand the 3-D end of the sport...kind of an "X" games for R/C as I understand it. Point is....real aerobatic aircraft don't hover at 25 feet (1:1 scale altitude) then accelerate straigt up at will. Am I missing something here, or is this a circus element to the sport. I admire the skills...but miss the point...

My one word answer, FUN!!! After all, isn't that why we have hobbies? Question, is there anything else in this world that hasn't evolved in the last 13 years? Except maybe, inhale, exhale.
