Again, just my opinion.
But the top F3A designs of today fly extremely well in hands of a good pilot.
It is the Schedule that lead to the designs we have today. And biplanes are rather popular today, You almost never saw a biplane in the Classic pattern Era.
I have two modern F3A planes, one Sebart MythoS Pro and one Oxai Galactika EP and they fly wery well. And one get used to the large fuselage. The wing on the Galactika is rather unusual, with very narrow wingtips, photo of my Galactika below.
