RE: Flip 3D
Da Kid
The Hype and the Flip are both exceptional flyers but they are high performance, lightweight planes and will not tolerate rough landings and other abuse. If you are a novice pilot looking to learn 3D, take a look at some of the profile planes. These planes are usually pretty tough and you can learn the basics. slow flight, hovering and flat spins (deadsticks) ect with much less pucker factor.
