You know a great way to get into 3D and really hone your skills is the little Foamies from Ikarus USA called the SHock Flyers.
Check out www.scaleaerobatics.com and go to the link with me flying these planes in the hotel room.
I was trying to show you the new 60 100 size models from CA called the Elipson. Only like $250. Great for 3D!
Check out the Foamies, you won't ever go back!
