Hi Folks,

I'm new to 3-d and just amazed at all the things some people can do with these airplanes. I have been doing a little research on the net trying to find out more info on the "How to's" of 3-d flying, but not coming up with much. I was wondering if there are any web sites or videos out there regarding this.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks to everybody so far with the help. WOW!!! that flying on that video Ultimate 3-D is CRAZY!!! I'm gonna have to get that! Are you flying in any competitions this year cause I would come out to see you fly like that anytime. And what plane is that you are using (the red, white, and blue one) cause it looks like that plane is a blast to fly. And what motor are you using for that as well?

Thanks

I have to shout out a plug here for my video becasue we talk specifically about engine choices and the actual Hovering maneuver. But ideally you want a 2 to 1 power to weight ratio. So on your .010 let's say it puts out 3 lbs of thrust you would put that engine in something that weighs 1.5 lbs including that engine.

Good luck!
