I tend to do more pattern/sport flying, rolling circles, knife edge, lomchevok (?) it does these well. Doubt it will do a knife edge loop. Maybe. I haven't done a lot of 3d. I have standard servo arms and stock control hardware on it, that limits things. I need to put on longer servo arms and then practice that stuff more. I can play around with hovering and torque rolls, but not great. It is not overpowered with a saito 150. Nicely powered. My sense is that there is a lot of choices in this size and perhaps someone else with more 3d experience can help you out.
