RE: Getting started in 3D
One of the guys I taught to fly bought a Twist and I personally didnt like it. It just doesnt feel like a 3D plane. The Profile from extreme flight is cool looking but not sure how it flies. If it were me I would either go with a flip or a 40 size U Can Do, or going on what other folks say the Extreme Flight profile is getting rave reviews. I guess if I had to pick any of them the Flip would be my choice, I just like the way it flies. Another and probably the best choice is the one from England, the Weston Hype 3D its an awesome 3D plane. I really like it but its not cheap.
I tell you what, I have to also agree about getting an electric foamy. I have the 3D Foamy Edge with a Razor 400 and 6.6:1 gearbox with 1320mah Thunder Power Lipos. And it is by far the most graceful and capable 3D plane of everything I have flown. I know its just a 40" wingspan small electric plane,,,, but I will say this I can only hope that a 40% gasser will perform 3D like my foamy. With the setup I have the power is just ridiculous and its the only plane I have seen short of a 30% or bigger size plane that will do all of the 3D manuevers and they actually can actaully be performed geometrically correct and with grace and style.
The glow 3D plane I want REAL bad right now is the Extreme Flight Yak made for the YS 1.10.
I have a Saito 1.20 in my U CAN DO, I would like to retire my U CAN DO and put it in the Yak.. It looks like a badboy to me.
