Default What's the most capable .60 3D arf?

Depends on who designed the plane. When it comes to models you cant say any type has any tendancy to do anything. Designers fudge a lot of variable to get the plane to do what they want.

Thin airfoils, sharp leading edges and high wing loadings are designed into some planes (pattern/non 3D) for clean crisp snap rolls, better entries into spins...etc.

Planes that are more 3D orriented, like Extreme Flight's planes, have thicker airfoil sections, round leading edges and very light construction for light wing loadings. This reduces the tendancy to snap and allows for smoother transition to post stall flight/3D.
