RE: Please Explain The Different Types Of Flying
simply put, 3D flying is CONTROLLING your aircraft below stall speed.
biggest thing with pattern and IMAC is putting the plane exactly where you want it. Flying a straight, level, and paralelle to the flightline is not as easy as you think.
BTW, we added to our club that all 3D flying will be done over the field, not the flight line, and everyone will fly the pattern.
