I sincerely hope F3A doesn't head down the F3P route with so much knife edge and rolling.

It will become a huge hardware gap between what novice pattern pilots needs to develop their skills and what a top level flyer needs to perform the maneuvers. I'd bet very few would disagree that a good model from the 1.40 era is a better deal for a novice pilot performing schedules that have minimal integrated rolling and maneuvers designed to bleed energy (eg, upline snaps) than some of the current crop of F3A machines.

Maybe someone has taken a hard look at an IMAC machine and what manuevers that "scale" airframes will never be able to perform as smoothly, and decided that's where F3A needs to head to differentiate itself?

IMAC is Snap Snap Snap, F3A can be Rolling, Knife edge something, Roll some more...
